I would imagine the shroud is extra, but I don't use a shroud with my 18" SW truss, as with one, anything over a variable light breeze and your views are highly frustrating, wobbly blurs.

To slow down dew, a nice stiff black cardboard cylinder, that you can simply slip around the mirror, about 20" long and a hair dryer, will do the trick, without acting as a wind catcher.
