If I am going to be imaging over a couple of nights I put an ensuite tent over the gear during the day with the vent flaps open to make sure any dew clears. Even when I do pack up I leave my camera and scope assembled so I don't introduce any new dust bunnies and need to shoot new flats.
When I am done I move the mount head from my pier to the original tripod in the garage and put the scope and camera back on it with a sheet over the lot to keep dust away.
