AstroZap Dust Cover – For Tube End of Astro-Tech AT14RCT 14" Truss-Tube Ritchey-Chrétien

Protect the Heart of Your Optics—Lightweight, Secure, and Field-Proven

The AstroZap Dust Cover for the 14" Astro-Tech AT14RCT Ritchey-Chrétien truss-tube telescope is a simple but critical accessory designed to protect your rear cell and primary mirror assembly from dust, moisture, insects, and temperature fluctuations between sessions.

Made from durable black nylon with an elastic hem, this lightweight cover slips over the back end of the optical tube and stretches for a snug fit. It’s shaped specifically for the AT14RCT’s rear cell structure, providing full coverage without interfering with collimation screws, fans, or rear accessories.

Whether your scope lives in an observatory or travels in and out of storage, this dust cover keeps debris out of your optical system and helps prevent cooldown shocks from sudden temperature swings.

Key Features:

• Custom Fit for AT14RCT Rear Cell: Tailored for the tube end of the 14" Astro-Tech Ritchey-Chrétien

• Protects Optics Between Sessions: Keeps dust, insects, and moisture away from your primary mirror

• Durable Black Nylon Material: Lightweight, breathable, and weather-resistant

• Elastic Hem: Stretches to fit securely without hardware or tools

• Simple, Secure Design: Easy on, easy off—even in the dark

• Made in the USA: Built with the needs of serious observers and imagers in mind

Compatibility:

Fits the rear tube end of the Astro-Tech AT14RCT 14" truss-tube Ritchey-Chrétien telescope. Designed for rear cell protection only. For front-end protection, see the matching AstroZap light shroud or corrector end cover.

Storage Tip:

Keep your dust cover on any time the scope is not actively in use—even during cooldown. It can help minimize thermal spikes, reduce mirror contamination, and extend the intervals between cleaning or collimation checks.
