Wanderer Astro Eclipse Motorized Dust Cover

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
