I love my swag but SWMBO is not keen on one so it gets limited use. I've had it next to the scope once and just slid in at the end of he night. I also used it on he eclipse trip last year. On hot nights it can be used as just a full-length mozzie net, it can be closed up completely and is then very warm and for in between the top canvas can be rigged like a lean-to. It can handle a bit of overnight rain OK but of course you wouldn't want to be getting in or out in the rain.
