Secondary Cover

Inspired by Glenn Dawes I said i was going to follow his Secondary mirror cover.

In my opinion it is a valueable accessory to my scope within this sometimes dusty enviroment.

Even whilst transportation its a great addition,all i need is a small silica gell pack taped to the bottom and it will be complete.

The container came from woolies for 3 dollars (great insurance

).

Cheers Kev.

I thought that was a brilliant concept when I first saw it!

What a top idea Kev,

A well conceived solution to a problem everyone that transports a Newt has come across.

Well done
Regards
Trevor

I've just got a soft drawstring bag over my secondary on the 22" at the moment. I wonder if I can find a similar container to go over its 4.5" secondary & holder.

I,m sure you could find a plastic jar at woolies or elsewhere to cover your large secondary ,the jar i got is 130 across 200mm in depth.
