Anything that enters through that opening will eventually hit the mirror. Dust can be blown away, but cleaning a mirror is work you'd rather not do, and it doesn't do the coating any favors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This cover seals the opening once you are finished observing. This keeps the inside of the tube clean and you need to touch the optics much less often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Omegon-Stofkappen-Stofkap-voor-6-OTA-2.jpg\" alt=\"Omegon 6-inch dust cap for optical tube opening\" title=\"\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Omegon-Stofkappen-Stofkap-voor-6-OTA.jpg\" alt=\"Omegon 6-inch dust cap for optical tube opening\" title=\"\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Omegon-Stofkappen-Stofkap-voor-6-OTA-1.jpg\" alt=\"Omegon 6-inch dust cap for optical tube opening\" title=\"\"><\/figure><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Fits a 6-inch (150 mm) pipe opening<\/li><li>Plastic version<\/li><li>Grip ribs on the side for hold with gloves<\/li><li>Slides over the tube and sits firmly in place<\/li><li>Suitable for storage and transport<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compatibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suitable for 6-inch Newtonian tubes such as the Omegon Advanced 150\/750 and the ProNewton 153\/750.
