Both can be fitted even when the dew shield is fitted on the OTA.
The Mewlon Mask just fits around the end of the OTA, held in place by a closed cell foam collar glued to the S/S mask – I used a contact adhesive for all cells and left them to outgas over the weekend just to get rid of any solvents. For the C9.25 and Vixen 102, I added a knob which allows me to grip the mask and lower it into the dew shield.
The larger masks are very rigid so good choice on the 1.2mm (1.5mm?) S/S. 
All I need now are some clear skies to try them out!

they look fantastic Dennis, I like the knobs - very sauve!!! I sprayed mine with flat black metal etching/primer top coat in the one go. i used SS hooks as the handles - you will see them this evening when I take a picture of them.
one thing I thought the mewlon was to fit on the inside and not like what was in the image you posted? Did i stuff up?
