Thanks for the replies,

I'm assuming whatever covers come with the scope it isnt going to be airtight, would there be a risk of dew getting in? And then because it isnt well ventilated it might start the evening with a nasty ammount of dew in it from the day before?

I'd imagine each time your mirror gets dew on it then it evaporates it would leave some particles of dirt on it. So perhaps leaving it outside would result in a steady dirt build up.

Or maybe I'm worrying over nothing.

On the plus side it sounds like keeping it outside all the time is a great way of keeping it at ambient.

Mike.
