Celestron Padded Telescope Bag for 6" RASA

Celestron Soft Carry Case for RASA 6 – Rugged Protection for Your Portable Powerhouse

Transporting your astrograph to remote sites shouldn't feel like a chore—or worse, a risk. Whether you're setting up under dark skies or storing your scope between imaging sessions, the Celestron Soft Carry Case for the 6” Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA 6) is the protective solution designed to travel with confidence. Custom-fit for the RASA 6 optical tube, this case is engineered for durability, portability, and peace of mind.

Built to Withstand the Elements—and the Journey

This isn’t your average padded bag. Celestron’s triple-layer construction brings serious protection to your precision optics. The outer shell is made of heavy-duty 900 denier polyester—resilient enough to shrug off scuffs, abrasion, and water exposure. A dense 1.5” (38mm) thick EPE foam core absorbs impacts while keeping your tube securely cushioned on all sides. Inside, a soft polyester PVC lining protects the finish of your RASA, minimizing the risk of cosmetic damage during transport.

From trunk to telescope pier, this bag keeps your RASA safe and ready for action.

Thoughtfully Designed for Fast Setup and Storage

The RASA 6 carry case is all about ease of use in the field. A circular end-cap zipper lets you slide your RASA into the case effortlessly, while a full-length side zipper opens up the main compartment for quick positioning. The case is shaped precisely to cradle the 6” RASA tube, and it includes alignment guides to ensure your dovetail rail seats cleanly inside. Packing up at the end of a long imaging session? Just zip, sling, and go.

Dedicated Storage for Imaging Essentials

Astrophotographers know that success is all about the details—and so is this case. Inside the lid, you’ll find an integrated storage pocket with a snap-button strap, perfectly sized to hold your filter drawer and camera adapter. These components stay securely in place during transit and are instantly accessible when you're setting up for the night. No more digging through gear bags or worrying about misplaced accessories.

Carry It Your Way

Whether you're navigating a star party, hiking to a dark sky site, or simply storing your scope at home, this carry case offers flexible transport options. Sturdy sewn-in handles make hand-carrying comfortable and balanced. Need your hands free? Clip on the included padded shoulder strap and sling your RASA over your shoulder. The strap is fully adjustable to match your height and carrying preference, making long treks to your favorite observing site that much easier.

Compatibility

This padded soft case is custom-tailored exclusively for the 6” Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph. It also fits the RASA 6 when paired with Celestron’s Advanced VX mount configuration. Please note: this bag is not compatible with the Celestron Origin or other telescope models.

If you're still lugging around the original shipping box or improvising with a generic case, it's time to upgrade. The Celestron RASA 6 Soft Carry Case delivers serious protection in a sleek, field-ready form—so your imaging rig is always travel-ready, secure, and organized.
