No shroud. I will be making one though.

Last night was much better viewing. Dew still a problem however.

Going well for an hour or so and all of a sudden, I couldn't see anything through the eyepiece and was wondering why. Change eyepiece, check cloud cover, nope. A quick look at the small mirror and found it was fogged up. Time to pack up. Bugger it.

I was getting some really good views of Saturn and Jupiter too. I found a way to reduce some glare and brightness using a moon filter. Seemed to work ok.

Anyway, I'll get back out tonight and have another go. Maybe I'll invest in a small battery powered hairdryer.
