DarkSide Light Baffles
See The Difference!
SCT and REFRACTOR owners... here's a Dual Purpose Light Baffle and DewGuard!
Does a local streetlight or neighbor's house take away your contrast?
Does your tube not have the darkest interior?

Our light baffle cuts stray light from your focuser and increases contrast.

Black velvet as a background opposite your focuser to provides the ultimate black background.

DarkSide Light Baffles make sure you maximize contrast.
Maximize your telescope to see deeper and increase detail.

Our standard baffles assume your focuser is set mid-point between spider vanes, as shown below:


If your vanes are not equally spaced from your focuser, e-mail us and we'll tell you how to measure using the "left" and "right" on our diagram, so we can build your light baffle.
