Shield your optics and enhance your deep sky views with the Explore Scientific Light Shroud designed specifically for 20" Truss Tube Dobsonian telescopes. This must-have accessory helps block stray light from entering the optical path between the primary and secondary mirrors, providing a significant boost in contrast and image clarity—especially when observing faint galaxies, nebulae, or planetary detail.
Made from lightweight, opaque stretch-nylon, the shroud fits snugly around your telescope’s truss frame using elastic bands at both ends. This ensures quick installation, a secure hold during use, and allows the telescope to move freely through its full range of motion.
The breathable fabric promotes airflow and prevents heat buildup, supporting thermal equilibrium while also acting as a shield against dust, dirt, and moisture. Whether you're observing from a backyard with ambient lighting or a darker site with windblown debris, this shroud helps protect your investment and maximize your optical performance.
