Cheap telescope cover

Saw these today in my local KMart. They are a fully weatherproof material with spring loaded fibreglass poles that are designed for 4 & 6 burner BBqs. The one in the pic is the 4 burner. When I saw them I thought these could be a usefuland cheap in the field telescope cover. They fold sort of like the beach tents and into a flat carry bag (you can just see them at right). The 4 burner which would easily cover an 8 or 10inch dob is $19.95 and the 6 burner should cover a 12inch dob at $24.95.
Maybe even a quick emergency cover for all sorts of scopes and equipment. Anyway worth a look next time you are in the barbie section of KMart.
