I took some photos of my shroud but as my scope is too well stored away I can take and image of it.

It was a rough 40 minute put together but it is functional.

1 - all rolled up only 30mm diameter, easy to store.
2 - unrolled has 3 pieces of wood Velcro'ed directly on the Skywatcher upper and lower scope tube when extended. These posts prevent the material cutting into the inner tube blocking the light path.
3 - 2 more stick provide the rigid start and end point with Velcro tying them together. Start and finish points are on the Skywatcher posts.

I have not used the scope for a while so I wont be pulling it out until I am ready to use it or change it.

Edit: The material is doubled over to decrease the light throughput.
