Dust-Cover?

Hi all,

Im new to astronomy and i bought an 8" Orion with a motorised mount as its my first telescope i didnt know about the cover till i got home and "Navman" pointed it out to me!! so im wondering can anyone help me locate one or any for sale......

Hi Tony,

Do you know you can make one out of cardboard till you locate one. The last thing you need is dust getting on your mirror. Cut some cardboard the same diameter of the scope then cut a 2" peace around the tube tape the two of them together.It will do you for the time been

Hi Carl,

Sky scout doesnt do comets............basically i think because they move too fast for the scouts GPS system.
