TeleGizmos Solar Observing Cover


The Telegizmos Solar Observing Hood is simple to use and will increase your enjoyment when observing the Sun. A dual layer of TeleGizmos's solar material on the outside will keep you cool by reflecting the heat outwards, and a black opaque inner liner will provide light blockage to increase contrast and relax your eyes. A Velcro closure will secure the cover to your telescope so you won't have to chase it when a gust of wind comes along! A cover such as this significantly will improve your solar observing experience!

Robert ★★★★★

Setting this up takes under a minute and the dual-layer material makes a real difference—the view through my scope is crisp without any washout. It's become my go-to for solar sessions.

John ★★★★★

The dual-layer material blocks the glare completely, so I can actually see sunspots instead of squinting through a blur. Setup took me under two minutes, and it fits snug over my scope without any light leaks. Only wish the hood came with a storage bag, but for the price, it's a solid buy.

Benjamin N. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about setup, but the dual-layer material blocks heat exactly as promised — I stayed comfortable for a full two-hour session without any glare. It’s lightweight enough to leave on the scope between observations, which makes it my new go-to for daytime viewing.
