I made up 2 sets of folding (hinged) panels..each panel was 1.2 metres wide x 1.5 metres high which stood on 0.5 metre legs..4 panels per set and hinged together accordian fashion which was then set up in either a hex or square shape...the sets were held together with velcro strips and one end left open as a door...each panel was made from 19 x 42mm pine..braced in each corner, painted black inside and white outside (just in case you decide to take it in the field) and covered with black garden plastic affixed with staples which had a dab of black texta..as for the scope..I use a piece of black fabric material to cover my head over the eyepiece whilst observing..a good quality skyglow or broardband filter helps too!
Cheers!
