What people like
The Explore Scientific Dobsonian Shroud for 10" and 12" Truss Tube DOB Telescopes is an accessory designed to enhance the viewing experience and protect the optics of open truss tube Dobsonian telescopes. Made from lightweight, opaque black nylon with elastic bands, it aims to block stray light from entering the optical path, thereby improving image contrast and brightness. Additionally, it acts as a barrier against dust, pollen, and dew, helping to keep the primary mirror cleaner. While generally effective in its purpose, some users have reported issues with the shroud being excessively long and poorly sized for certain models, particularly the 12" ES Dob, leading to a less-than-ideal fit.
Pros
- Blocks Stray Light: Improves image contrast significantly.
- Dust Protection: Keeps optics cleaner.
- Dew Prevention: Reduces dew formation on mirrors.
- Breathable Material: Allows air circulation.
- Durable Build: Constructed from opaque nylon.
- Easy Installation: Elastic bands for simple fitting.
Description
Keep out stray and unwanted light from your 10" and 12" Truss Tube Dobsonian telescope with a lightweight light shroud. Keeping the path dark between your secondary and primary mirror will boost image contrast and brightness bringing out more details. Constructed of opaque black nylon with excellent stretch, each end of our DOB light shroud has an elastic band to keep the shroud in place and allow for an easy fit and installation. Breathable nylon will let air circulate and yet keep dust away, keeping your optics clear and avoiding any unnecessary pressure from the breeze. A must have for the suburban observer where stray light interferes.
