TeleGizmos 24"-25" F/5 Truss Tube Dobsonian Standard Full Scope Cover
Manufacturer Part # TG7D
TeleGizmos Standard Cover for 24" to 25" f/5 Truss-Tube Dobsonian Telescopes
If you're fortunate enough to own a 24" or 25" truss-tube Dobsonian, you're not just stargazing—you're time traveling. These scopes can peer deep into the cosmos, but they’re also large enough that setting up and tearing down every night isn’t always practical. That’s where the TeleGizmos Standard Full Scope Cover becomes essential. It lets you protect your big Dob where it stands—fully assembled and ready for launch.
Custom-Fit Coverage for Monster Dobs
Designed specifically for 24" and 25" f/5 truss-tube Dobsonians, this cover is built to fully enclose your scope in its vertical, parked position. That includes the upper cage, truss poles, mirror box, rocker box, and altitude bearings. You get full-length protection from the top of your UTA to the ground, without needing to dismantle or reconfigure your setup.
This size is ideal for scopes like the Obsession 25", StarStructure 24", or other similarly sized premium Dobs in the f/5 focal ratio range.

Built from TeleGizmos’ Trusted Standard Material
The Standard Series uses a multi-layer, double-laminated polyethylene that’s both tough and reflective. The exterior silver layer reflects UV radiation and radiant heat, helping reduce thermal stress during the day. The interior is smooth and non-abrasive, protecting your scope’s finish and truss hardware from scratches or scuffs.
While not designed for long-term outdoor exposure (that’s the 365 Series’ job), the Standard Cover is perfect for:
-
Overnight use during multi-night observing runs
-
Temporary protection under an observatory dome or roll-off roof
-
Storage in garages, workshops, or observatories where dust is the main threat
It’s water-resistant, wind-resistant, and folds up into a surprisingly compact package for transport.
Easy to Use, Hard to Live Without
This cover slips over even the tallest Dobs with ease, thanks to its open-bottom design. A drawstring hem lets you cinch it tight around the rocker box or ground board to keep out wind, dust, bugs, or stray critters.
If your Dob rarely gets disassembled—or you just don’t want to risk bumping your secondary every time you cover it—this is the solution you’ve been looking for.
Observing Tip:
Big Dobs take a while to thermally settle, especially in warm or humid climates. Keeping your telescope covered and in place between nights can help it maintain thermal equilibrium and reduce cooldown time. You’ll spend more time observing and less time watching heat waves shimmer through your eyepiece.
