I have made a recent modification to my observatory as I found that with the lower temperatures and high humidity that we are experiencing that dew was condensing out onto the aluminium surfaces of my mount etc and this would eventually cause problems.
I lined over the top of the decking with very thick plastic, folloed by a layer of insect screening, followed by the rubberised camping matting that I have on my floor. This has cured the excess dew or condensation problem that I was having.
I must say that the rubber matting with the holes is really excellent as I have now routed all of my cabling down the pier, under this matting, to the PC. No tangles and certainly nothing to trip me up while moving around at night. I have placed a sucession of mounted touch on/off ccd lights all over the observatory as well as solar powered lighting. Its now almost exactly how I need it to be.
Just need some decent weather.
