Astrozap Light Shroud For 10" Astro-Tech At10Rct Truss-Tube Ritchey-Chrétien

AstroZap Light Shroud – For 10" Astro-Tech AT10RCT Truss-Tube Ritchey-Chrétien

Protect Your Light Path. Improve Contrast. Shield Your Optics.

The AstroZap Light Shroud for the Astro-Tech AT10RCT 10" Ritchey-Chrétien truss-tube telescope helps you get the most out of your scope by protecting the optical path from stray light, wind-blown dust, and thermal fluctuations. Whether you’re imaging under dark skies or observing from a suburban driveway, this breathable black nylon shroud enhances contrast and preserves the clarity of your views.

Custom-sized to fit snugly over the truss-tube section of the AT10RCT, the shroud’s lightweight, opaque fabric stretches between the front and rear cells, blocking unwanted ambient light without sagging into the optical path. The material is moisture-resistant and breathable, helping to prevent internal condensation while shielding sensitive optics and electronics from external contaminants.

It installs easily, packs down quickly, and is essential for any serious user of a truss-tube Ritchey-Chrétien.

Key Features:

• Designed for Astro-Tech AT10RCT: Custom fit for the 10" truss-tube RC

• Black Stretch-Fit Nylon Fabric: Blocks ambient light, wind, and dust

• Improves Image Contrast: Helps reduce glare and internal reflections

• Breathable and Lightweight: Won’t trap heat or moisture inside the optical tube

• Secure, Sag-Free Fit: Maintains shape during use without affecting collimation

• Made in the USA: Reliable performance from AstroZap

Compatibility:

Fits the Astro-Tech 10" AT10RCT Ritchey-Chrétien truss-tube telescope. Not compatible with solid-tube models or other truss designs outside the AT10RCT.

Observing Tip:

A well-fitted light shroud not only improves contrast but also stabilizes internal air currents around your optics by reducing airflow through the truss structure. The result? Sharper star images and more stable performance—especially during long-exposure imaging.
