Condensation
Initially the LX200 will be stored with its tarp cover inside the shed. If I can find some insulation ( nothing like Bunnings over here!!) I'll put it in.
I'm using a cut down HD field tripod, no permanent pier this time.
The Shed is pretty secure, well as far as sheds go and looking like a shed from the front it shouldn't attract any attention... just another garden shed.
Additional hasp and padlock on the doors, and four turnbuckles to hold the roof down will be as good as it gets. At least this will allow me to have the scope ready and set up to use as and when the weather allows.
It's very frustrating to drag all the gear outside, set it up and before you can do anything along comes the rain! Totally different from Heathcote! There we had, if we were lucky 155mm a YEAR; here in "sunny" Surrey, we've had 35mm in the last few weeks.
Just finished the rails and supports; the roof frame is on top to check the measurements for the castors etc, so I'm still hoping to have it together this weekend.
