Dave,
The moisture on the mount...
Could you tell if it was:
- Leakage from the dome?
- Condensation from the dome?
- Condensation on the mount itself?
I wouldn't have expected condensation on the mount inside the observatory, but I suppose if the ground is real wet underneath the deck its possible
.
A little bit of silastic on the leaking bolts should tidy them up.
Al.
