Review Summary

This observatory tent is just what I needed. I live in and area that has light from vehicles , street lights, and neighbors . I can now set up the tent and cancel out the light intrusion. I use binoculars for star gazing. I am 6' 2" I put my reclining camp chair on a small rotating platform and I have enough space to turn 360 degrees and see a large section of the sky. I am beginning to love this thing. The only issue is folding it back into a circle for storage. You have to read between the the pictures to get it to fold. After many tries I may have figured it out, but I still get it wrong sometimes. A video would be great. If it is windy it can be a pain to set up. I would have given it 4 stars except for the folding up. I would recommend this for anyone with light pollution. I have not tried it with a telescope.

The Explore Scientific Two-Room Pop-Up Go Observatory Tent is an essential companion for amateur astronomers and astrophotographers seeking a convenient and efficient way to shield their equipment from the elements. This portable observatory tent is an innovative solution that offers protection against wind, dew, rain, and dust, while also minimizing light pollution from nearby sources.
Crafted with a focus on durability and ease of use, the tent features a robust pop-up design that simplifies the setup process. With a quick release of the band, the tent springs into shape, ready for immediate use. The two spacious rooms, each measuring 60 inches by 60 inches, provide ample space for a variety of setups, whether you're operating computer gear alongside your telescope or managing two complete telescope systems. The five-foot high walls, complemented by six-foot high windbreak walls, ensure a comfortable and sheltered observation environment.
Portability is a key advantage of this observatory tent. When not in use, it collapses into a compact 27-inch disk with a thickness of just 4 inches, making it incredibly easy to transport in a small car or even on an aircraft for remote stargazing adventures. This feature, combined with its lightweight design, makes the tent an ideal choice for astronomers and astrophotographers attending star parties or traveling to dark-sky locations.
Despite its portability, the tent does not compromise on quality. The black-out coated fabric is not only waterproof and UV-protected but also designed to withstand repeated use in various weather conditions. The large doors, measuring 42 inches in height and 36 inches in width, provide convenient access for both astronomers and their equipment. These doors are equipped with heavy-duty zippers and can be securely closed to keep out moisture.
To further enhance the tent's protective capabilities, it comes with an oversized roof cover made from coated, water-resistant material, offering additional defense against the sun's heat and unexpected rain. For a complete setup, users can add a groundcloth tarp for extra protection from ground moisture and insects.
The tent includes cords and pegs for secure staking, and features additional hoops for the option of adding heavy-duty straps, available at local hardware stores, for extra stability in windy conditions.
The Explore Scientific Two-Room Pop-Up Go Observatory Tent is not only a practical choice for those battling light pollution but also a testament to the versatility and convenience that modern astronomers require. Its spacious, durable, and portable design makes it a standout option for anyone passionate about stargazing and astrophotography.
