Once the bolts etc rust, replace them with new ones or with stainless steel ones.
My mount and telescope/camera is standing in the middle of my garden only covered with a bbq cover.
Hasn't missed a beat.
The only thing i have to do at night is connect my lappy and take the cover off (5 Min max).
Then set the exposures and go to bed
PPl here know they will be sorry if they enter my backyard
I am a very light sleeper when well rested
