Product description

Mobile observatories and practical weather protection for telescopes. Protect your set-up from wind, dew, rain and dust - ideal for telescope gatherings or periods of good weather!

Suitable for

  • Telescope gatherings: Camp with your telescope
  • Periods of good weather: Leave your telescope and accessories set up in your garden for a few nights
  • Protect against scattered light and wind during observations

Fast assembly: The observatory is based on a sturdy pop-up design. It can be set up within a few minutes. Release the holding strap and the whole tent unfolds from its packaging. You do not need to do anything more than connect the two observatory rooms with the adhesive strap seam and fix it to the ground.

Ample space for your equipment: The observatory tent has a surface area of over five square metres, has side walls 1.52 metres in height and windscreens of 1.83 metres. It is divided into two rooms of 1.52 by 1.52 metres. This means one section can be used for the telescope and the other for your equipment. The generously-measured doors can be rolled down.

Travel-friendly transport dimensions: The observatory tent can be folded into a parcel measuring 70cm in diameter and 10cm in width. This enables transportation in a small car or even on a plane for longer expeditions.

Modern materials offer optimal protection and durability: The layered polyamide material is waterproof and offers exceptional UV protection all day long. The additional weather cover protects your equipment from dew, sun and surprise rain showers when not in use.

Cords and tent pegs to secure the tent are included. The structure also has retaining tabs for heavy-duty straps which can be bought in local farmers’ markets.

Stay away from this crap!

Unless your hobby is to throw away your money and not look at the stars, should you stay away from this hidious thing!
I bought it, and even at the very first night as I unpacked it at home did it loose its stability as I tried to fold it together for storage.
The fabric construction, which seems to be solid per se, is upholded by spring- like metal vires - which makes the pop-up function working.
But - no instruction on how to fold the thing is provided, and the entire tent is apparently wrecked instantly if it is done wrong.
Now my tent is not able to stand erect even in my dining room, and there is no reason even to try it outdoors.
