Recently there was some new development around my pier..
During a walk through local Bunnings store, this
water tank caught my eye.. right price and right size for pier + EQ6 (possibly with counterweight).
I bought it and place it over the pier (already mounted on concrete slab in the front yard), and checked next morning, only to be stunned by a quantity of condensed water - it was dripping from everywhere. Excellent for production of clear water, but definitely not very good for protection of mount and optics from elements..
I decided to try to elevate the canister a bit, to isolate it from ground and to allow ventilation, in hope that condensation will be reduced or even eliminated.
The construction on which I plan to mount the water tank could be as well used as a table for laptop and accessories.
