Dust Covers/Dew shield - What do you use?

Hi All,

I have purchased a cover sold for covering outdoor chairs from BigW for about 6$. I was wondering what others are using. Its not perfect as you can not tighten the elastic. But I can probably use a velcro strap to fix that. I was concerned weather such a cover could Zap (static) my scope electronics. It looks like a tarp like material.

I also grabbed a Camping mat for a DIY shield 13, its 10mm thick and I think I could make one with enough left over for another or for smaller finder and guide scopes. I found velcro is quiet expensive, so I have grabbed some waterproof cloth tape from Bunnings for 4$. I wanted to keep to at 3/4 the price of a commercial solution. The best I found was Orion Shield from Bintel for 50$.

What are others using out there. Any precautions or tips?

Regards
Fahim
