Al.Grant Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 A cover for my scope. Snap! Just ordered one of these covers from Green Witch .... http://www.green-witch.com/acatalog/Cases_and_Bags.html#agw_2dscopecoat The UK weather being what it is it seems like a sensible thing to have on standby, particularly as the VC200L is an open ended tube!

Brantuk Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 We got 'em from Ace Astro in Bristol Mick. You're more than welcome to have a go (If you can prise them off Di - you might need a crowbar - that's what I'm using lol) http://www.acecameras.co.uk/asp/web/recorprod/1/product/12887/cat/1288/ph/cat/keywords//recor/1/SearchFor//PT_ID/1/product.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rock Doctor Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Al, the cover I got is heavy duty water proof nylon with eyelets for tying down and a draw cord. Exactly the same dimensions as the one at Greenwitch and cost £16.99 from a garden centre. As recommended by Kim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
