I worry more about the refractor because there is no circulation through it.

Thanks Glen and Allan, I never even thought of that
I have seen those caps at Bintel. I think I'll get one. Maybe even a dehumidifier.
I want to avoid bringing everything inside when not in use. It would be a hassle disconnecting everything, taking the guide scope off, dew straps and cables, plus I have no good storage space in the house, and my wife wouldn't be too pleased with me leaving it laying around haha!
It's all in my "ror" 3x3 garden shed. I haven't noticed much moisture build up inside anywhere, but air circulation would be quite poor.
