I wonder if these are the sunshades for the telescope?

[David Dunlop]

Looks like the protector might be nothing more than a disc of optically pure, and possibly tinted glass, intended to seal the end of the telescope tube to prevent dust getting in and onto the object lenses further down the barrel of the scope. Having to clean the internal lenses of a scope would be very bad form.

Thanks for the info.

Nice diagram Lauren.

So, presumably replacement parts in-case the Object End of the scope gets damaged.

Will have a look at my scope in a bit to work out what this part is like so I can keep a look out for it at shows.

Cheers
