New! AC900 Dark-Cap for all Newtonian telescopes

A light semi-rigid shield to eliminate stray light and improve contrast on all Newtonian scopes.

Most modern Newtonian telescopes have the focuser positioned very near the end of the tube and this allows stray light from the area opposite the focuser to enter the open end of the eyepiece and cause a lowering of contrast. The Dark-Cap fits all Newtonian telescopes from 6" to 16" and eliminates this annoying problem completly.

Available now 23.99 GBP
