Mount cover for EQ6 wanted

[spacezebra]

Greetings

Im after a scope cover that can take a beating from the elements. Maybe you have one in your shed that is not doing anything.

Would love to have a T309 if you have one.

Drop me a message and lets talk $$.

Cheers Petra

Petra,
I used the stacked plastic chair cover from Bunnings for many years.
It seemed to last at least three years or so.
Held in place with a bungee cord.

Aldi BBQ covers work well, They have them in various sizes. They come on sale regularly,

You probably know about this trick already: To prevent condensation damage, I put a box of "Hydrosorbent" (brand) desiccant under the cover, and secure the bottom. I recharge it in the oven once a month, on a day that doesn't look rainy so I can have the cover opened for a few hours. Has worked nicely over Sydney's very wet La Nina year.

I am using this cover: https://proastroz.com/collections/essentials/products/telescope-cloak-dust-scope-cover-for-refractor-reflector-scts-sun-cover
Has worked well for the last year. Mount and scope has been outside nearly year round.
