I leave my EQ6-R mount outside in the backyard practically all of the time (chained to a nearby hedge), bringing it inside only if we're going to be away from home for more than a day or two. I leave it covered with a BBQ cover from Bunnings, which after 2+ years shows no sign of deterioration. I bring the OTA, battery and mini PC inside after each night's session; I live on a corner block so I'm a bit wary of leaving everything out during the day as the gear could be seen by prying eyes. At the moment with 39C temperatures in SW Sydney I've also covered the mount with a reflective car windscreen shield - can't hurt.
