Explore Scientific Shroud for 10" & 12" Truss-Tube Dobsonians

Keep the stray light out of your 10" or 12" Truss-Tube Dobsonian with this Explore Scientific Shroud. By obstructing unnecessary exterior and reflected interior light, this shroud will allow you to see higher contrast views and superior imaging. This way you will be able to maintain a dark path between your telescope's primary and secondary mirrors. Made from a light and flexible black Lycra/Spandex nylon fabric, this shroud is easy to install and will stay in place on your truss tube even after many hours observing. The breathable nylon allows for proper air circulation while keeping dust away from your optics.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Hazel ★★★★★

Dew used to fog my secondary mirror every humid night, but this shroud blocks stray light and keeps the optical path clean for hours. The fabric is stiff enough to hold its shape between the truss poles, and the velcro closures make setup a quick two-minute job.

William ★★★★★

Took it out on a moonless night and the difference was immediate—the tube stayed dark right to the eyepiece, so faint fuzzies popped with way more contrast. Fits my 12" truss snugly without sagging, and the velcro closure makes setup a breeze.

Leo O. ★★★★★

I was worried about light leaks ruining my views of dim deep-sky objects, but this shroud blocks stray light effectively and fits snugly around the truss poles. Set-up took under two minutes, and it folds flat for storage between sessions.
