Its just my thoughts because ide love to see a good quality telescope enclosure for somewhere around 400 dollars and if i wanted somewhere to sleep a small tent would work perfectly for that.

Hi Brendan,
I started out on this as an exercise just for myself as I wanted a multi-function/multi-use tent that could house all my gear comfortably and a couple of other observers as inevitably you always get others wanting to look through your scope.
In my estimation you will never get a high quality tent around $400 unless it is very small and made in china or similar places o/seas.
In this case I am talking about full Oz Design and Manufactured tent with high quality local materials (canvas etc).
Cheers
