I like the anchoring with concrete screws rather than dynabolts. There are Xbolts that are concrete bolts that can take larger loads too.
Leo, what about building an insulated roll off box that can cover the pier, mount and possibly the telescope too? Tied down to the ground in case of storms using turnbuckles. Weatherproof to the ground level. Build-in room for a portable a/c unit that you switch on a few hours before using the scope in summer...
I'm looking at doing this. I had one years ago that I used for my 18inch newtonian and it was trouble free. I disguised it as a bird cage.
