Telescope cover

[OneCosmos]

Does anyone have a cover for their refractor when mounted on an alt-az mount like the AZ-EQ6?

I have a TeleGizmos cover I bought when doing imaging and it fitted perfectly but now I have gone visual only and using the AZ-EQ6 mount in alt-ax mode on a Berlebach Planet tripod with a 30 degree leg spread it no longer fits.

Just wondering what others use for similar?

Thanks

I make my own using a material from Bunnings that has foam and thin foil.
I double it over so the outside is foil.
Just use tape to fix everything in place.
The unit I made for my set up covers everything and it the only satisfactory solution I have found to keep out the heat generated by the Sun during the day.

Will the TG cover fit if you retract the counterweight bar, in alt-az mode perfect balance is nowhere near as critical as EQ mode.....
