| This padded scope case provides a convenient means for transporting and storing the 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube of a Celestron C8S, C8S-GT, or CGE800 German equatorial mount telescope, or the 8" OTA of a Meade LXD-75 SC-8. Your optics will stay cleaner and last longer, protected from accidental dings and scrapes. The case carries the optical tube only, and not the scope’s equatorial mount and/or tripod.
The tubular case measures 10" x 21" x 10". It is made of heavy, water-resistant dual layer (polyester/nylon) material. Shock-absorbing foam padding is sewn into the smooth snag-resistant inner lining for maximum protection. Round padded end pieces help the case conform to the shape of the optical tube. A zipper around the circumference at one end allows easy access so you can slide your optical tube in and out of the case in seconds. Sewn-in carry straps wrap completely around the case for support. A tubular molded handle on the straps fits comfortably in the hand. A zippered pocket on one side of the case holds a finderscope, eyepieces, star diagonal, etc.
Comfortable to carry, forgiving of bumps and bruises, this very protective optical tube case is a smart buy for the owner of an 8" SCT on a German equatorial mount. It provides inexpensive protection for your expensive optics.
