Works perfect on Celestron Edge HD 8

May 12, 2019Get one!
Pros: Cons: Comments:If you have a SCT, you should have one of these handy. They aren't expensive, and you'll never know when you'll need one. Very well made.

Sep 24, 2017Must-have for SCT
Pros: Cons: Comments:This is very nicely made of black finished aluminum, and a must-have to safeguard the rear opening of any Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope when you put it away. Gotta wonder why they call it a blue fireball, though.

Sep 14, 2017Fits my old orange C8
Pros: Cons: Comments:I have a Celestron C8 that I purchased in 1982 or 1981. I upgraded to a 2" diagonal that screws directly onto the scope like a visual back. I needed a cover for the back when it is in the case. This fit perfectly. It is high quality metal. Seems a little pricey, but I don't know what it costs to manufacture.

Aug 9, 2017Fits perfectly my Celestron EdgeHD CGE 8" telescope
Pros: Cons: Comments:Perfect! Got the smallest case, Celestron Carrying Case for 4/5/6" NexStar Telescope, to fit my Celestron EdgeHD CGE 8", and the adapter it came with the scope was on the way, so had to remove it, but also needed to cover the whole. This was a perfect fit.

May 27, 2017Harder to lose
Pros: Cons: Comments:Although a little pricey, this little piece is much harder to lose accidentally than plastic/rubber pieces that fly off silently into the darkness.

Apr 9, 2017Serves its purposes, no more no less
Pros: Cons: Comments:Exactly as advertised: aluminum cover for the threads on the back of a mid-size SCT. In my application, this was for a Celestron C8 (SP model). Nothing fancy, but it works very well. Nice knurled edge, no manufacturer logos or anything. Simple, clean design

Dec 29, 2016Reduces clutter and weight on back end of C8 HyperStar

Nov 4, 2011The Cap You Should Have
Pros: Cons: Comments:My Celestron CPC 800 came with a rubber cap that simply (and loosely I might add) slipped over the back of my OTA. I now have a metal cap that screws on, won't fall off and protects my investment.
Bottom Line: Would you recommend this item? Yes
It's a must have for anyone who owns a telescope.This review was provided courtesy of AgenaAstro.com

Jul 5, 2011A quality cap for SCT accessory threads
Pros:Lightweight,Easy to Use,Well machined
Cons:A bit expensive
Comments:I used this cap to replace the plastic cap that came with my SCT. The plastic cap was difficult to remove and install, but this machined cap was a breeze to use, due to its accurately machined threads.
