A night sky viewing tent structure having specific features for enhanced night sky viewing is disclosed. In one embodiment, the night sky viewing tent structure comprises roof cut-outs to allow telescope lenses to extend through the roof for star viewing while still protecting users. In other embodiments, the tent structure roof cover is at least partially transparent with one or more sections providing magnification for improved night sky viewing. In another embodiment, the tent structure covering is at least partially photochromic, such that it is clear in low light conditions, and substantially tinted in full light or day light conditions. In other embodiments, the tent structure cover is manufactured with one or more coatings to absorb ultraviolet rays of less than 400 nanometers. In various embodiments, the night sky viewing tent structure is formed using at least one flexible rib element and a cover element.
