Description
The design provides a clean finish to the top & bottom of a custom dew & light shield for use with an astronomical telescope. The light shield is constructed out 3/16" thermal bubble/reflective insulation sandwiched between two thin aluminum sheets. The entire assembly is rolled to fit inside the parts then glued with silicon. The inside of the shield is painted flat black & the outside painted to match the color of your main telescope tube. The longer parts (qty 8) cover the circumference of the tube, top & bottom; then the joints are covered & glued using the wider clips (qty 8). Two wider clip designs are provided. The ones with the holes are to facilitate attaching your dew shield to the main telescope tube using bungee cords & can be placed anywhere along the edge.
