That's a good idea, I do something similar.
I have a steady stand, with moveable upper section. I created a circular
piece of wood, painted black, to block out the moon directly. The wood creates
weight for wind, and it is the shape of the Moon, so I don't lose any major
part of the sky. Only the atmospheric glare is visible.

I once used an old music-notation stand to block out the moon. Worked
pretty well, and better than using my outstretched hand. Wish I'd
remembered to bring it last night! Something like a bamboo cane with a
paper plate would be just as effective I'm sure, although you could have
problems if it's windy.
