Wind shield

Hi
Could anyone point me towards a design for a simple wind break for use with my portable scope/mount/imaging setup? It would need to be collapsible to permit carrying in a car.
Cheers Peter

I got a little "igloo shaped" tent that I've been using for a while now. Fits in one small bag. Keeps the wind and dew off my gear. Great stuff. They're available in Oz now.

Hi Marc - your "igloo" ooks very interesting. Do you remember where you purchase it? Cheers Peter

At the time I bought it from the US, 2yrs ago. Honestly I can't even remember where. It's chinese made. I think you can google it in Oz now and find them everywhere. I paid $300.00 but I reckon they maybe a couple hundred now in Oz? I'll try to dig the invoice and find out.

I think Bintel may sell them as they gave one away at the ASNSW Christmas Party.

I think Sirius Optics in Qld are still advertising their little observers tent on their website.

Here's a link to get the tent - and Ron's good to deal with too!
