Price: $75.00
The Standard Plus Series offers enhanced protection for telescopes mounted on equatorial mounts (EQ/GEM). The Size S model is designed for setups with a total length (tube + attached equipment) of up to 30 inches (≈76 cm).
Made from UV-resistant ripstop fabric with sealed interior seams, this cover protects your telescope from dust, dew, and moderate rain, making it ideal for indoor storage, observing sessions, and temporary outdoor use.
This size fits many ED/APO refractors up to 100–115 mm, 6”, 8'', 10'' SCTs (Schmidt-Cassegrain ), small Newtonians, GSO RC 8'' and other similarly sized telescopes on equatorial mounts.
📏 Before ordering, measure the total length of your telescope with all attached equipment (diagonal, camera, filter wheel, etc.). If the full length is 30” (76 cm) or less, this size is right for you.

🧭 A demo image explaining how to properly measure your telescope setup
The illustration shows the actual dimensions of this telescope cover.
These dimensions are slightly larger than the maximum recommended telescope length for this size, to allow for an easy and proper fit.
For example, the Size S cover is designed for telescopes with a total setup length (tube + accessories) up to 30 inches (≈76 cm) — but the cover itself measures approximately 35 inches (≈89 cm) in length.
This built-in allowance ensures:
✅ Easy placement and removal of the cover
✅ A proper fit without straining the fabric or seams
✅ Better airflow and protection around attached accessories
All sizes are designed with this margin to accommodate real-world telescope configurations.
To determine if this cover will fit your telescope, measure the total length of your optical tube including any equipment attached to the focuser — such as a diagonal, camera, filter wheel, or other accessories.
📌 For Newtonian telescopes, you typically only need to measure the tube length, as most accessories point downward in the parked position and don’t add to the total length of the setup.
Please keep in mind that the overall size of your telescope depends not just on the optical tube, but also the mount type, configuration, and accessories.
There are countless combinations of telescope + mount + accessories, and it’s simply not possible to offer a pre-made cover for every setup.
That’s why we offer a custom telescope cover service — tailored specifically for your equipment.
We create covers for any telescope type or size, whether it’s a compact refractor or a large observatory-class setup.
