Too small for the Celestron C5

Though the quality of the dew shield is very nice, it is too small for the Celestron 5" SCT telescope; it needs to be another inch wider to allow enough velcro to adhere. When installed on the telescope, very tightly, there is barely enough velcro to secure it, and it struggles to stay connected due to the minimal surface area able to connect. It is barely able to fit around the scope when just adhering to a minimal edge of the velcro. This is not secure and is crackling as the velcro slowly lets go.

When flat, this piece measures 20.625 inches across with both velcro strips included, or only 18.25 after deducting the overlapping veclro. The scope, including the shoulder which retains the corrector plate, measures 5.875 inches across, requiring at least 18.5 inches, plus the velcro overlap, and additional allowance for the padding. For this dew shield to provide sufficient velcro to securely adhere, it should be 21.5 to 22 inches across.

I emails support/service with this info but received no response. I ended up ordering a different shield from another manufacturer which fit the C5.

Not bad, but over-priced and shipping was slow and also over-priced

Great dew shield for the Unistellar eQuinox

It fits perfectly on the 4.5” eQuinox reflector and keeps the dew off.
