As soon as I read this I had a flash of exactly what your talking about and it is a brilliant idea..I have a friend that used to sew canvas stuff as a living and could probably help in this idea...i will shoot you an idea later on of a concept drawing and see if this is what you were thinking as well...

I had this amazingly stupid idea of somehow making a fold down dome that you can erect up over the scope in seconds and the main part is pegged to the ground in a semi circle and then you fold out up and over the mount in one go, its ribbed in several "slices" with fibreglass fold down poles and had a vent on 4 sides with a Velcro flap over it. its all in my head but I cant seem to get it out. could even act as a wind break with a few extra poles etc. its in my mind - will have to draw it up and get it costed to manufacture. thought about the camping replacement poles and make up a few arches and see how it goes. probably need a floor? so the grand purpose would be to cover it up after a session and also be fully waterproof in case of rain and even heavy rain
