Mark,
There are a few thread in here somewhere about flocking materials.
Beware of the felt varieties as they give off millions of fine particle which collect on your optical surfaces!!!!! They are also dust traps.
I have heard one person mention how felt products absorb moisture and trap it which can't be good for rust!
If you have the scope dissassembled you might consider painting the inside with Blackboard Paint which is less reflective than ordinary Matt Black paint.
If you can't get hold of any blackboard paint you can make your own by mixing Talcum Powder into ordinary black or Matt black Acrylic paint (which is how they make blackboard paint!).
To get the mixture right (you will need more Talcum Powder than you think) mix the powder in and test some on a scrap peice of something. You will have to let it dry to see the final result. If it is not right, just keep adding Talc until the required result is acheived.
