Looks good Kevin. I used Suntuff polycarbonate panels as well. Re the tie downs, i decided to just use tie down straps at each corner as they are so quick to fit and release. They did a great job in 115kmh winds so i decided to just stay with them. I have some boat hatch lockdowns but never fitted them. Re side curtain water ingress, i foun that a layer of black plastic dampcourse from Bunnings, stapled to the roof frame keeps wind blown water from getting in; it hangs down vertically and extends about 40mm down the side wall. Final cover board over that.
Hi Glen. I don't know why I got your post via email but not on the forum? Strange.

First light last night. Got about an hour's worth of NGC1365 with the 8" F4 before the fog rolled in. Here's an unprocessed screen grab straight out of DSS.
