If you keep your Meade SN8 outside all year round, you want to be able to properly protect it without having to take it apart every time. The Telegizmos T3-N8 is a protective case for the Meade SN8, an 8-inch Schmidt-Newton mounted on the LXD 55 or LXD 75 mount. It is part of the 365 series, designed for outdoor installations year-round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The LXD 55 and LXD 75 are equatorial mounts<\/a>, and the cover is made for the combination of the tube and the mounting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Measure your setup in parking position, including the viewfinder and dew cap, and compare that with the dimensions of the cover. A Schmidt-Newton has a corrector plate on the front, so also attach the dust cap there. Let the telescope dry first after a wet night before covering it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to check the collimation without waiting on a clear night, then a artificial star for collimation<\/a>. Compare also the TG-N8 for the Meade SN8<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cover from the 365 series by Telegizmos for the Meade SN8 on an LXD 55 or LXD 75, for an outdoor setup all year round.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":113741,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[3296],"product_cat":[3154,504,56],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-113742","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-telegizmos","product_cat-bescherm-hoezen","product_cat-draagtassen","product_cat-telescoop-accessoires","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":null,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":111636,"url":"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/en\/zwo-seestar-s50-pro\/","url_meta":{"origin":113742,"position":0},"title":"ZWO Seestar S50 Pro","author":"Info telescoop","date":"25-08-2026","format":false,"excerpt":"The ZWO Seestar S50 Pro is the successor to the Seestar S50: 50 mm quadruplet APO (260 mm, f\/5.2), two 8.3 MP 4K sensors, a 63-degree wide-angle camera for the Milky Way up to 8K, three built-in filters, a 10,000 mAh battery (up to 9 hours), and 128 GB of storage.
