Dehumidifiers in Observatories
I have been running a small dehumidifier in my observatory during the last few days of rain we have had here, and it has really kept the obs nice and dry. The odd drip blown in past the side curtains has been evaporated away quickly, and judging by the half a litre of water collected from the air, it has to help protect the mount against corrosion. Highly recommend them. I got mine off ebay and it runs on 12V (comes with an AC adaptor as well).
