  • NANUK 988 Protective Case with Padded Dividers - 41.8" x 13.6" x 12.5"

    The NANUK 988 provides a massive 41.8" x 13.6" x 12.5" interior for long equipment, constructed from lightweight NK-7 resin to keep the empty weight to just 24 lb. Its IP67 waterproof rating ensures total protection for your gear in extreme temperatures from -67°F to 158°F, all contained within rugged exterior dimensions of 44.9" x 16.3" x 13.6".

    A 41.8" Interior for Telescopes and Long Equipment

    Designed specifically for long and bulky gear, the NANUK 988's internal cavity measures 41.8 inches in length. This makes it an ideal solution for transporting telescope optical tubes, heavy-duty tripods, lighting equipment, or other sensitive instruments that won't fit in standard-sized cases. The included padded dividers let you set up compartments that keep your gear from shifting during transit.

    IP67 Waterproof Protection from -67°F to 158°F

    Your equipment is protected from the elements by an IP67 rating, certifying the NANUK 988 as completely dustproof and waterproof when submerged. The case is molded from impact-resistant NK-7 resin, which absorbs shocks and vibrations while remaining functional across an extreme temperature range of -67°F to 158°F. Six of NANUK's PowerClaw latches ensure the case remains securely shut, preventing accidental opening even under severe impact.

    Wheeled Design with 3 Reinforced Handles

    Despite its large capacity, the NANUK 988 is built for mobility. It features two large polyurethane wheels with stainless steel ball bearings that glide smoothly over rough terrain. Three spring-loaded, reinforced handles provide multiple carry options, making it easy to lift and maneuver. The case's exterior is molded with interlocking feet and ribs, allowing multiple 988 units to be stacked securely for transport or storage.

  • Will the NANUK 988 fit a Celestron C8 optical tube?

    Yes. The NANUK 988's 41.8-inch interior length provides ample room for a standard Celestron 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain OTA, which is typically around 17 inches long. This leaves significant space for accessories like finderscopes, diagonals, and focus motors, all protected by the included padded dividers.

    How does the NANUK 988's IP67 rating protect gear during a rainstorm at a star party?

    The IP67 rating guarantees the case is fully protected against dust ingress and can be submerged in up to one meter of water for 30 minutes. During a sudden downpour, you can be confident your telescope and electronics inside the NANUK 988 will remain completely dry and operational.

    Is the NANUK 988 suitable for air travel?

    No, the NANUK 988 is not airline carry-on compliant due to its 44.9" x 16.3" x 13.6" exterior dimensions. It must be transported as checked baggage. It can be secured with TSA-accepted padlocks through its reinforced metal padlock holes, and TSA approved latches are available as a retrofit kit.

    What is the NK-7 resin used to build the NANUK 988?

    Lightweight NK-7 resin is the impact-resistant shell material NANUK uses for all of its waterproof protective cases. It is lightweight and tough, and the 988 is rated for temperatures from -67°F to 158°F.

    Can I stack multiple NANUK 988 cases?

    Yes. The NANUK 988 is designed with interlocking channels molded into the shell. This feature allows for stable, secure stacking of multiple cases, preventing them from shifting during transport or in storage.

    How much does the NANUK 988 weigh?

    The case weighs 24 lb (10.9 kg) when empty. Its construction from lightweight NK-7 resin provides robust protection without adding excessive weight, making it easier to handle when fully loaded with equipment.
