Clawed up sore fingers and 3 hours with a craft knife later... and thanks to the http://astrojargon.net/MaskGenerator.aspx template generator...

Quite happy with the result.

That looks very neat.  Well done.  What did you use for mounting it on the OTA?

Sellotape lol... just a temporary measure though. finished version will have a couple of velcro strips

I've made a couple and they work very well. I put two plastic bolts at one edge and hang them on the scope!

That looks great, I have downloaded a template to makemine too. What material did you use?

The scope was second hand and one of the two tube caps that came with it was unusable as the edging that slips over the tube had split off leaving just a disk of plastic. If you look carefully at the centre of the mask you can see what's left of the Orion Optics logo
