Is it ok to keep my scope outside?
OK I've ordered a 8 inch collapsible skywatcher dob, and its due to arrive any day. (Upgrading from one of those dept store scopes everyone says not to buy, But I've had a fantastic time learning the southern sky with it <I'm from the UK, home of rain >, its a 60mm celestron refractor bought for $90).
Now security aside, would it be better to keep the new scope inside or outside? Outside it would be under cover (car porch). Inside would be in a cupboard somewhere. I live in Brisbane with its associated big temperature range between day and night.
