If you don't want to set up and align your mount over and over again, leave it outside and cover it up. The Telegizmos T3-R5 is designed for a 5-inch refractor on a German equatorial mount and is part of the 365 series, intended for outdoor use all year round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cover is intended for the combination of a tube and equatorial mount<\/a>, Therefore, measure the mounting dimensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Refractors of 5 inches vary in length depending on the focal brandlength. Measure the setup in parking position, including the dew cap, diagonal and viewfinder, and compare that with the dimensions of the case. Let everything dry first before covering it up, and put the lens cap on the lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A rainbow band for 5 inch telescopes<\/a> There is limited dew on the objective lens during observation. If you have a refractor between 5 and 6 inches, then also compare the T3-R6 from Telegizmos<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cover from the 365 series by Telegizmos for a 5 inch
