  • Wanderer Eclipse Motorized Dust Cover

    The Wanderer Eclipse motorized dust cover automates essential telescope protection, available in six distinct sizes to fit optical tubes from 110mm up to 425mm in diameter. Designed for remote and automated observatories, it eliminates the need to manually cap your optics, protecting your system from dust, dew, and debris with software-controlled convenience.

    Automated Dust Protection for Remote Observatories

    For any permanent or remote imaging setup, keeping the optics clean between sessions is a constant challenge. The Wanderer Eclipse solves this by motorizing the dust cover, allowing you to open and close it as part of your automated startup and shutdown sequences. This ensures your primary mirror or objective lens stays free of dust, pollen, and even cobwebs without requiring a trip out to the telescope.

    Lightweight Build in 6 Sizes from 110mm to 425mm

    Engineered to be exceptionally lightweight, the Eclipse cover adds minimal weight to the front of your optical tube, preventing significant impact on your telescope's balance. This makes integration simple and removes the need for major counterweight adjustments. With six sizes available—110mm, 150mm, 200mm, 275mm, 350mm, and 425mm—there is an Eclipse model to fit a wide range of popular refractors, reflectors, and catadioptric telescopes.

  • What is the main advantage of the Wanderer Eclipse over a manual dust cap?

    The primary advantage of the Wanderer Eclipse is automation. For remote observatories or backyard setups controlled from indoors, it allows you to uncover and cover your telescope optics as part of your software workflow, eliminating the need for manual, physical intervention at the start and end of every session.

    How does the Wanderer Eclipse benefit my permanently mounted 11-inch SCT?

    For a permanently mounted Schmidt-Cassegrain like an 11-inch model, the Wanderer Eclipse provides reliable, automated protection. It prevents dust and moisture from settling on the corrector plate between uses, preserving image contrast and reducing the frequency of cleanings. You can integrate it into your imaging sequence to open at dusk and close at dawn automatically.

    I have a remote observatory with a 150mm refractor. Is the Wanderer Eclipse a good fit?

    Yes, the 150mm Wanderer Eclipse is an ideal solution for a remote refractor. Its lightweight design won't disrupt the balance of your optical tube, and its motorized function is essential for true remote operation where you cannot physically access the telescope to remove a manual cap.

    What sizes are available for the Wanderer Eclipse?

    The Wanderer Eclipse is available in six different sizes to accommodate a wide variety of telescopes. The available models fit optical tubes with outer diameters of 110mm, 150mm, 200mm, 275mm, 350mm, and 425mm.

    How does the Wanderer Eclipse connect to my control system?

    The Wanderer Eclipse is controlled via the Wanderer Empire software suite, allowing it to be integrated into your imaging scripts and sequences. For specific details on ASCOM drivers, INDIGO support, and connection protocols, please refer to the product manual.

    Is the Wanderer Eclipse difficult to install and balance?

    The Wanderer Eclipse is designed to be easy to use. Its "super light" construction minimizes its effect on your telescope's balance, typically requiring little to no change in counterweights. Installation involves fitting the cover over the front of your telescope tube.
