I have both a SD Meteor Light and a SD Clip Flashlite that have all mesh top sections. much the same as the Stargazer and the MH Skyview (and a number of other similar mesh-top tents from several other manufacturers). However, I would caution that the mesh does not allow a clear view of the sky. You will see diffraction patterns around the stars, caused by the mesh. No way around it - look through mesh, see the diffraction patterns. Of course, if your vision is much less than 20/20, it all fuzzes out and doesn't matter anyway. One other problem with mesh tops is that in a dusty area when there is lots of wind, the dust comes right in through the mesh (sometimes even the ones with the "3-4 season" zipout panels), and if you have a blizzard, the blowing snow will also come right into the tent (blizzards happen in the Rockies, Presidentials, Cascades, and Sierra in all months of the year).
