How did you sew the lycra, Glen?
My wife tells me that her domestic sewing machine would not easily sew fabric like lycra.
I bought a commercial shroud - the one with the three vertical tubes - and have never used it (waste of $70). I find it too fiddly to fit and, because of the tubes, I can't leave it fitted all the time. Unusually for me, I didn't research it sufficiently and naively assumed that it was the same design as the Astrozap with the lateral ABS bands which can be left in place when the scope is collapsed.
I've been thinking of making one similar to the Astrozap but it might mean sewing it by hand.
