The tube of a 8- to 12-inch Newton is long, heavy, and difficult to grip, especially when you take it off a Dobson tripod or carry it outside. With these Oklop carrying straps for a Newton telescope, you have better grip and don\u2019t have to awkwardly clamp the tube under your arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are intended for tubes from 8 to 12 inches, the size you see a lot of at Classic Dobson telescopes<\/a> and with a Dobson like the Skyliner 250P FlexTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Measure the outer diameter of your tube and check that the tires fit properly before lifting it. Drive slowly and be careful that the focus ring and viewfinder do not hit anything. For the largest tubes, it is preferable to lift with two people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your 10-inch Dobson is in the shed or garage, then keep it. a fabric cover for 10 inch Dobsons<\/a> clean him up.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
