Celestron Small/Medium Telescope Soft Case - 40" (#94025)
Finally—one case to carry it all. Whether you're transporting your telescope across the backyard or across the state, the Celestron 40" Small/Medium Soft Case offers padded, customizable protection for your optical tube, mount, tripod, and accessories. It’s a practical, all-in-one solution that takes the hassle—and the bulk—out of your observing setup.
Instead of juggling awkward cardboard boxes or dragging hard cases across gravel paths, this soft-sided, lightweight bag gives you real grab-and-go flexibility. And thanks to its rugged construction and thoughtful internal layout, you don’t have to trade protection for convenience.
Purpose-Built Protection for the Astronomer on the Move
The outer shell is made from ultra-tough 900 denier polyester for durability and weather resistance, and it’s lined inside with 16mm thick EPE foam to absorb shocks during transport. The bottom panel adds another layer of security with rigid PVC reinforcement—perfect for shielding your gear from curbs, truck beds, and real-world handling.
The inner surface features smooth polyester to prevent scratches, and hard rubber elements underneath help resist wear and moisture if you're setting the bag down on dewy grass or wet pavement.
Customizable Interior with Smart Storage Options
Inside the case, you’ll find three movable EVA-padded walls secured with Velcro, letting you tailor-fit the interior to cradle your optical tube, mount, and tripod. The case also includes internal securing straps to keep everything snug and stable in transit.
For smaller gear, there’s a 9" x 12" padded accessory pouch and an external zippered pocket—great for eyepieces, filters, or your red flashlight. Fabric loops on the outside let you attach additional gear pouches or carabiners.
Carry It How You Like
The case can be carried by its sewn-in handles or slung over your shoulder using the included padded strap for hands-free travel. At just 6 pounds empty, it’s manageable even when fully loaded.
