Greg,
Before I had my NexDome and I was imaging outside ,I’d just fit the lid on my newt and grab an old black billabong rash shirt and slip it over the end to ensure no stray light snuck between the gaps , does the job
When I image in Sydney my yard is like daylight on some nights so I just use the black rash shirt as well and my darks are usually pretty good
It’s to much time waisting warming cameras and removing , re installing , cooling again etc... every minute outside is precious so I try to minimise time on every facet of AP
Cheers
Martin
