anyone use one of these, are they any good ? Astronomica Astrotent - observatory with opening roof

I havnt but i like the idea, not so much the price though... looks like it could do a good job... I have seen people use them toilet tents to keep the scope in when it rains or over night/day, and have wind breakers around while they observe....

[starstalker]

yeah but this looks cool!!! lol

[Keiran]

I know... Is there any cheaper ones? Same quality though... I have heard of obs tents but it didnt look like this.

I like the idea of this one for star parties etc but it's even more! Although you sleep in the other part

Looks handy for the back garden to protect against sudden down pours.

"anyone use one of these"

Smashing little tents - you see loads of 'em at star parties. But it's funny how when they sell them to regular campers they're £30 (with 2 sleeping bags and airbeds) but if it's for astronomy then the extra zip round the top makes them £179 (without airbeds 'n' sleeping bags).
