Hey Rod, I would not worry too much about the weather if you have a tarp. My scope has spent all this year except for a few days out on the pier or before that set up on the tripod with a tarp over it. I usually put a large garbage bag over it first then the tarp. I now have a chair cover tarp over it which some of the guys were discussing here a couple of months ago. It can be purchased from Bunnings under their outdoor section. I have never found water under the tarp and it ties up nice and neat underneath so it wont blow away. Nothing is showing any signs of rust as yet. So if you take the proper precautions I cannot see a problem with setting it up the night before and leaving it out. Make sure that it cannot be seen from the road and you should be right.
