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.

Would you keep a special "loved one" outside?...
Would you keep a scientific instrument outsie?...
Would you kepp $1,000 (or your actually paid price) outside?...

I'd think not...
