Chuck: I'm on my way to work in minutes. I love what I saw. I'll have to take some measurements. I am going to want four of them I will want two to fit over each lens cell and I will want two to fit over the dew shields. Not your standard 8" or 10" but I will get up with you and work it out. Steve

Steve, it's quicker for me to deal with Photobucket, so here are some cell-phone shots. I'll get better ones on the weekend.
Here is the 8" OD dustcover: http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii24/JethroTull1958/6inch003.jpg

Here is a close-up, showing the surface texture: http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii24/JethroTull1958/6inch002.jpg
What's the OD of your refractors?

Please let me know when you get those pictures up. Both my D&G refractors need good dust covers.
