Observatory tent suggestion?

Hi everyone!

Since I improved my polar align I started to take longer exposure images, however I realized that the wind is other factor to be concerned before imaging... Last night I tried to take some photos of Iris Nebula. Firstly I started with 120s exposure time, not bad, after 2 photos the weather got windy, so I had to reduce the exposure time in a half, 60 seconds, in order to fix the vibrations... I have found out that there are some available solutions, observatory tends for example.

I am looking for something easy portable and affordable. My setup is SkyWatcher 10" Black Diamond 254/1000 + EQR6 PRO. I saw this tend but I think its height is not suitable for my reflector.

I am opened to other solutions, even homemade projects. Despite of the bad weather, I could take some decent images of Iris nebula to stack ^^
