Leaving Scope Outdoors?
I have found that the best time to get excellent views of the heavens from where I am situated is around 2.00 am.
Although its not getting as cold at night as it was, it's still cold, with some dampness in the air.
My concern is setting up my scope at around 8 pm, and leaving it out for that length of time. I am trying to do some astrophotography, and at the moment I want to get the Moon out of the way, hence the interest in 2 am.
In general, is it okay to leave a scope outside at night for 6 hours or so - or should I wrap it in some kind of covering? I live in northern Vic.
Thx
