TeleGizmos 365 Series Cover for 5″ and 6″ f/6 to f/8 Refractors on Large German Equatorial Mounts

A 5″ or 6″ refractor on a full-sized German equatorial mount is a beautiful thing. Its a serious observing instrumentlong, sleek, and capable of delivering exquisite views of planets, double stars, and deep-sky objects alike. But that graceful optical tube is also a big, exposed target when the wind blows, the rain falls, or the sun beats down. The TeleGizmos 365 Series Cover is designed to give your premium refractor the year-round, all-weather protection it deserves.

Full-Time Outdoor Protection for Large Refractor Rigs

The 365 Series is built to protect scopes that stay outside full-time. This isnt a weekend-use dust coverits a fully weatherproof, thermal-regulating shield made from rugged, multi-layer materials. The outer skin is a heavy-duty, UV-resistant, polyurethane-coated polyester that resists tearing, cracking, and weathering. Inside, the radiant-barrier thermal lining reflects sunlight, blocks radiant heat, and reduces condensation and thermal stress.

Together, these layers create a protective cocoon that stands up to snow, sun, rain, dust, bird droppings, and whatever else Mother Nature can throw at it.

Tailored for Big Refractors on Big Mounts

This model is purpose-built for 5″ and 6″ refractors in the f/6 to f/8 focal ratio range, fully mounted on a large German equatorial mount. It covers the full length of the optical tube and mountincluding extended dew shields and counterweight armswithout leaving critical components exposed.

• Fits: 5″6″ refractors (f/6f/8) on large GEMs (such as the Losmandy G11, CEM70, EQ8-R, or CGX-L)

Its ideal for setups where the telescope is parked horizontally or slightly angled in a resting position on the mount. The covers open-bottom hem allows for easy placement, and an integrated drawstring closure lets you secure the fabric tightly around your tripod or pier.

Heavy-Duty Construction, Field-Proven Durability

TeleGizmos 365 covers are double-stitched with UV-resistant thread, with reinforced seams and weather-sealed stitching. These covers have been tested in blazing desert heat, cold northern winters, high winds, and heavy rainsand they just keep going.

Observing Tip:

Big refractors can be a chore to set up and align from scratch every night. If you have the luxury of a semi-permanent setupon a deck, pier, or backyard pada TeleGizmos 365 cover lets you leave everything aligned and ready. No polar alignment. No OTA lift. Just uncover and go. Your back and your observing time will thank you.
