With baffling a shroud is not really necessary at a dark site, where this telescope will be used. Besides, in a Newt. most stray light gets into the eye at the top end or from behind the primary and a shroud on this design just fills in the middle, so essentially does nothing to improve contrast.

Maybe I'll eventually make one so people at public nights don't drop their keys on the primary though.
