I have been thinking the same thing!

The last couple of nights (between cloudy periods) I've been observing from my back and front yards of my residential block. I can get decent chunks of sky although LP is a bother, particularly from zenith to the west.

A BIG pain is street lighting, neighbour's lights and the odd car along the street. I was trying to think of some portable screens to place in strategic spots, depending on where I set up.

I have considered screens on stands, or an encircling fabric or tarp screen attached to several posts with a radius and height of ~ 2m.

So, any ideas would be great!
