FAQs
Is this backpack suitable for carrying other telescope brands?
The Unistellar Backpack - Odyssey is specifically designed to fit the Unistellar Odyssey telescope and is not recommended for other brands or models due to size and shape variations.
Can I take this backpack on an airplane?
The backpack is designed to be lightweight and compact, making it suitable for travel. However, it is always recommended to check with your specific airline for their carry-on size and weight restrictions.
How much weight can the backpack hold?
The backpack is designed to carry the Unistellar Odyssey telescope and its standard accessories. While durable, exceeding its intended load capacity is not recommended to maintain protection and longevity.
What kind of accessories can I store in the pockets?
The multiple pockets are suitable for storing smaller accessories such as eyepieces, filters, charging cables, lens cloths, and small tools. Larger or bulkier items may not fit.
How should I clean the backpack?
Clean the exterior with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material. Ensure the interior is kept dry.
Does the backpack offer protection against rain?
The backpack provides protection against dust and minor splashes. However, it is not fully waterproof. It's advisable to protect it from heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to open or close.
Check for any fabric obstructions. If the zipper is clean and unobstructed, try applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Backpack feels heavier than expected.
Ensure only necessary accessories are packed. Distribute weight evenly by placing heavier items closer to the padded back area if applicable to the backpack's design.
Water or moisture detected inside the backpack.
Immediately remove the telescope and any accessories. Allow the backpack to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat. Check the interior lining for any damage.
