Building and dismantling a 16-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope takes a lot of time, so such a telescope is usually set up permanently. The T3-16 from Telegizmos is a cover for a 16-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and belongs to the T3 line, the 365 series for telescopes that stay outside all year. When the weather is clear, you can take it off and you\u2019re immediately ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cover is made for an SCT of 16 inches. Or on a fork or on a equatorial mount<\/a> The position of the stand matters for the shape of your setup, so take the assembly into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Measure the setup in parking position, including the viewfinder, camera and dew cap, and compare that with the dimensions of the cover. Also attach the dust cap to the corrector plate. Let the telescope dry first after a wet night; otherwise, the moisture will get trapped under the cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your telescope is on a tripod, cover it with the Tripod case from the full 365 series<\/a>. There is also the TG-16 for 16 inch SCTs<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cover from the T3 line by Telegizmos for a 16-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain that stays outside all year
