I recently traded my 9.25" SCT for an Intes MN66. I needed a light shield and so I bought some black plastic from a local supplier and Protostar's flocking paper. That is some great stuff! Pretty easy to use and like looking into a black hole.
I will say that when Comet Holmes first came around, I tried setting up my ball mount Newt to view it. This is a truss tube mount with aluminum poles and only a simple baffle directly across from the focuser. When cars drove by and their headlights hit the scope, I really saw no difference in the view. Obviously, if light hits the mirror that's a big problem but that experience has kept from trying a shroud, which would be somewhat complicated because of the design of my scope.
