About this item
  • FITS MOST POPULAR TELESCOPE MODELS AND MOUNTS - most Celestron telescopes, including the NexStar and PowerSeeker series, GSkyer 600x90mm / 130EQ telescopes, Orion models like the AstroView 90mm and StarBlast II 4.5 telescopes and many more. See the telescope compatibility table in the description section for exact models.
  • DOUBLE TELESCOPE PROTECTION - This bag uses double padding layers internally to prevent damage to your expensive telescope equipment, and eyepieces. Buckled straps are used to easily secure your telescope tube and mount while traveling and an internal padded divider makes sure these two are never scratching each other.
  • LOTS OF SAFE STORAGE - Unlike many other telescope carrying bags - this bag has no less than 4 large padded side pockets that can store your high value telescope accessories. No need for cheap small accessory bags as an afterthought add-on.. These extra padded pockets are probably the largest you’ll find in any telescope case and can safely accommodate most of your telescope auxiliary equipment.
  • SAFELY CARRY YOUR TELESCOPE - We’ve checked your feedback. Many telescope bags are using cheap plastic D-rings that tend to break after a few weeks of use. Some are using weak stitching that tears when put under pressure. Your bag is installed with unbreakable metal D-rings that are tightly connected to the bag using double stitched straps. It’s also tested under heavy loads to make sure your telescope equipment is getting the safety that it deserves.
  • DURABLE AND LONG LASTING - We’ve used extremely durable and water resistant 600D polyester fabric with double layers of high density foam padding, metal D-rings and heavy duty zippers with rubber handles to easily open and close the bag. PVC coated heavy duty bottom is used to protect the bag from rough surfaces. Your bag will last for many years to come.

A bit pricey but hopefully worth it
Size: 40 Inch | Verified Purchase
A gift for my astronomer husband, this well constructed equipment bag protects his favorite portable telescope (Gskyer 130 EQ) very well. The interior padding is thick, compartments are designed well and both inner and outer straps are sturdy and well positioned. Fabric is sturdy and attractive. And there’s plenty of space both in the main compartment as well as the large outer pockets for accessories of all kinds. My husband is very pleased to be able to carry everything he needs for this telescope in one very secure, protective and well balanced way. Zero regrets on this purchase.
 
Perfect for my Telescope
Size: 40 Inch | Verified Purchase
I received a telescope for Christmas (Cassini 900x135) that is quite large. The length of the telescope is 36” and the diameter is 7.25”, with a 3” attached eye piece. When comparing other products, this one was the only one I was 100% certain it would fit. I also liked that it had two sections to strap in both the telescope and the tripod.

Upon inspection, it seems to be well assembled and sturdy. The stitching on the fabric is high quality and durable. The padding definitely seemed adequate. I disassembled my telescope, and it fit nicely into the bag with plenty of room to spare.

My only con is the straps to hold down the equipment, had to be on the loosest length, and even then it was a tight squeeze to secure it. But, also, if you have a larger telescope than this, you probably won’t be buying this bag.

My first impression is definitely 5 stars!

Good Padding And Well Constructed
Size: 30 Inch | Verified Purchase
I use this bag to haul my 130mm reflector around and all the accessories. It has 4 zippered pockets that are nice for carrying the accessories and the main compartment is large enough for the telescope and mount. The main compartment is separated in two by a padded divider which helps to protect the telescope from the mount and stand. Great for storing and carrying the telescope.

I absolutely recommend this carrying telescope bag!
My wife knew I was searching for sturdy bag to hold my telescope when I go out with it so she bought me the bag as a Christmas gift, and it is absolutely amazing!
It is fully padded so you can use the outside packets as well for your sensitive gear and it easy to carry and above all, keep my telescope safe!
Highly recommend.
 
Surprisingly Nice!
Size: 35 Inch | Verified Purchase
Nicer than expected to be honest. Very well padded. Zippers aren’t YKK but pretty decent. I ordered this half way expecting to return it due to mediocre quality but it’s a keeper.
 
Better than expected.

Fits my 5” diameter scope easily with tripod and plenty of room in the side pockets for lenses and accessories. Very durable and easy to carry with the handles or shoulder strap. Just what I needed. I recommend it to all my fellow star watchers.
