For stargazing with the naked eye, those probably would suffice. The other would be the Astronomy365 Portable Observatory Tent (now defunct but there are many other OEM variants around). The operative word here being star “gazing” naturally.

For Astrophotography, something more robust for wind shelter is probably more relevant like the AAP’s Octans Portable Observatory tent. That’s substantially more durable and wind resistant.

One thing though with the open tents (for observing or for astrophotography), the open ones can get cold. Back in Sept when I joined my friends in the wheatbelt with my Octans, even with a sleeping bag in a swag, I was miserably cold the whole night waking up to frost forming on my swag, walls of my Octans tent, and on my car.
