Overview
Dust Cap 55 mm Inner Diameter Push-On Eyepiece and Objective Cover Depth 7 mm Black Plastic Lens Protection

The dust cap with a 55 mm inner diameter is designed for eyepieces and objectives with an outer diameter of 55 mm. It fits over the edge of the optics and covers the front lens, preventing dust and small debris from settling on it during storage. The body of the cap is made from lightweight black plastic, adding only a negligible weight to your equipment. The cap has no springs or latches, and it is easily applied by pressing on and removed by pulling off. It serves as a replacement for a lost original cap or as an addition to an eyepiece that never had a cap.

The cap has the shape of a low cylinder with a flat lid and a ribbed surface. A depth of 7 mm ensures that the cap hugs the edge of the eyepiece or objective, covering the entire front face. The ribs around the edge facilitate gripping, even in the dark while observing the night sky. The value of 55 mm indicates the inner diameter of the cap, so please measure the outer diameter of your optics before selecting. You can freely supplement caps in different sizes for a set of eyepieces with varying diameters.

The cap is suitable for telescope eyepieces, smaller objectives, and other optical parts with a cylindrical end of an outer diameter of 55 mm. It can replace a lost original cap or complement an eyepiece that was never supplied with a cap. If you store multiple eyepieces in one case, each can have its own cap, keeping the lenses clean even after prolonged storage. The thin wall of the cap adds almost no volume to the eyepiece, allowing it to fit into precisely cut foam inserts. We recommend measuring the outer diameter of the optics with a caliper before purchasing.

Occasionally wipe the cap with a dry or slightly damp cloth to prevent dust from entering. Only apply it to the optics when the lens is clean and dry. During observation, keep it in your pocket or in a bag compartment to prevent it from getting lost among other accessories. Do not expose the plastic body to high temperatures for extended periods.

The 55 mm dust cap helps keep the front lens of the eyepiece or objective clean between observations. It is useful for both astronomers and photographers who transport their equipment in a case or bag. It is made from plastic and the smooth flat lid covers the entire front surface of the optics. Before ordering, measure the outer diameter of your device and choose the appropriate size.
