I have noticed because I'm lazy and don't bother to wipe the dew off my mount after a night the bolt heads and lots of the stainless parts of my eq8 have gone rusty.
I need to get some kind of water proofing like lanolin spay maybe  |
Yeah the rust proofing is probably the weakest part of the EQ8. I've done some DIY to the DEC axis to try to keep the dew and other crap out.
I've also posted some guide log data from last night. Not bad for the crappy seeing in Brisbane.
