Lightbulb Protecting your equipment in the outdoor

Hi Guys,

Just a bit of background info I have a EQ6 mount with with a 254mm reflector. So the whole setup is fairly large to make matters worse I live in a apartment.

At the moment my mount and the OTA are in the guest room and I move them when required (lots of work and effort). I would love to move the whole setup to the balcony which has no overhead cover, my concern is the weather especially Sun (UV damage), Rain (Humidity) may have on the whole setup.

Just wondering if someone has had to deal with similar problems and what solutions are available out there.

By the way I went to Bunnings store and they have a good quality tarp as well as BBQ covers that can be used as make shift covers. I also saw some temp awnings.

Any ideas?
