I know Bert (Avandonk) kept just a a bucket over his HEQ5 and then his EQ6 for years and his mounts ran faultlessly all that time.

I have left my EQ6 outside in the backyard for years and all I do is cover it in a doubled-over bedsheet, then a plastic sheet, tied around the bottom with some scrap electrical wire.

All the cables, power board etc are tucked up under the cover. I have never had a problem in all the years it has been out there.
I usually bring the scope inside, but not always. Sometimes I leave it out there too, under cover.

Daniel and some others use a BBQ cover from Bunnings to cover their mounts and scopes.
