Enhance image contrast and reduce glare with the Explore Scientific Light Shroud, designed specifically for 10" and 12" Truss Tube Dobsonian telescopes. By blocking stray light from entering the optical path between the primary and secondary mirrors, this lightweight accessory sharpens contrast, boosts brightness, and improves overall image quality—especially in light-polluted suburban environments.
Crafted from opaque, breathable black nylon, the shroud stretches easily over your truss tube and stays securely in place with integrated elastic bands at both ends. The material allows air to circulate freely, helping your optics cool evenly while minimizing dew and fog buildup.
In addition to its optical benefits, the shroud provides practical protection by shielding your primary mirror from dust, debris, and breezes that can disrupt your view. Whether you're hosting public star parties or simply observing from your backyard, this shroud is an essential upgrade for anyone using a 10" or 12" truss Dobsonian.
