The zenith issue was considered, I'll be missing app 280mm from zenith point @ 1200 height from aperture of scope. I can live with that, as I rarely find the need for vertical work with my observations so far. (Visual only, I'm not AP adept!) If it becomes a problem, there is always the jigsaw close at hand to modify to a "shutter" aperture! I decided the trapezium was the way to go for ease of construction/cost effectiveness. Suppose it will look like a miniature yurt though.........
