Explore Scientific Backpack Carrying Case

A rugged backpack designed to transport small Explore Scientific refractors to observing sites not easily reached by car, whether a few yards off the road or miles away. The padded interior with hook-and-loop panels lets you configure compartments around your telescope and accessories.

Ideal For

• Owners of a small Explore Scientific refractor who walk to their observing site.
