The original C8 Lens Shades are made of rugged, hard plastic (that do
not break unless run over by a truck!). They snap easily onto the front cell
of all Celestron’s C8 telescopes.
If you have one I'd love to chat about buying it off you.
Hi Paul, I have seen one of those quite recently, and they do look quite sturdy. I dont think they have been made since the 1990's, best of luck tracking one down.
I have one Paul - but I'm not looking to sell it, sorry...
If you do want one, then you might like to know that I slip mine on to the rear of the mirror cell when packing up - and that allows me to leave my diagonal inserted and protected for transport.
They are very good indeed. I hope you can find one easily enough.

2000 is the last catelog I saw one in.
