Hello all! I have moved to a smaller city now and looking to "make" an observing tent (like the kendrick). I have searched the forums here and found a nice thread http://www.astromart.com/forums/viewpost.asp?forum_post_id=202404&poll_id=&news_id=&page= but it is an old thread and no pictures anymore. I dont care about quality and just want something to block the light out from me when im observing and something cheap. I cannot justify spending a lot of cash on a tent. here is another link i found-http://www.iolaks.com/softech/astro/observe.htm but I have a meade lx90 and not sure how it would work with this tent. Any advice, pictures of what you guys have made would be great! Thanks in advance everybody!

Tom,
A lot of guys have made inexpensive light shield panels out of PVC pipe and plastic tarps, which they set up in a square or hexagon configuration. I don't have any links at hand, but I'm sure a search of the archives here or a google search will show you some examples.
