AstroZap Light Shield for 8″ Dobsonian Telescopes
An obvious feature of the Dobsonian telescope design is the location of the eyepiece close to the optical tube’s open end. Often as a result, stray light will find a path into the open end of the Dobsonian tube and result in a reduction of contrast in the images you will see with that eyepiece. This AstroZap Light Shield is made to fit 8″ Dobsonian telescope tubes.
This light shield from AstroZap prohibits erratic stray light, which often makes its way to the opposite side of the optical tube, from hindering dark adaption and concentration and thus allows for a more satisfying viewing experience. Proudly manufactured in the United States of ABS plastic for ultimate durability, ease of maintenance, and stylish appearance.
