The most completely dimensioned case here

Length from 53.3 to 88.9 cm, extending to 91.4. Width 17.8 cm at the widest point and 10.1 at the narrowest. Four figures, and between them they describe the actual shape rather than a bounding box.

Why the taper matters

A refractor is a long thin tube; a tripod folds into a long thin bundle. A case shaped for both wastes no volume, and it is why this one is named for refractors rather than for telescopes generally.

The adjustment

Thirty-five centimetres of range. That means one case covers a 60/700 and an 80/900 alike, and it means a shorter telescope is held rather than sliding.

What goes in the accessory pocket

The maker names the contents it expects: eyepieces, a monocular, a camera, a phone adapter, filters, a torch and a cleaning kit. That is an accurate list of what actually accompanies a telescope, and it suggests the pocket was sized by someone who has packed one.

Availability

German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores ran from 44 € to 48 € on the day of the survey.
