Folks,

Just ordered a Skywatcher collapsible 8" dob for my nearest and dearest and she would like to make up a light/dew/dust/shroud for it and would be keen to know if anyone has a pattern she could use or any advice on anythiong to be wary of. It seems not a major task but experience tells
Thanks

Hi Dave :hi:
I dont think they would be too tricky to make (not for me though as hopeless). They just need to wrap around the scope, and can be secured with velcro or loop onto the knobs on scope.
You can check out mine when we catch up next.
I have mine on all the time, but some dont use them, or only on public nights.
You can buy them http://www.astrozap.com/scripts/prodList.asp
There must be places in Aus too, but couldnt find on a quick search.
