The iOptron looks like a beast of a mount compared to the AZEQ6, nice solid mount !!
Any reason why you pack it away each night ?
In Sydney my EQ6-R and Newt stays out for months at a time on the paved area near my pool just with a scope cloak ( I just bring the cameras and Lappy in ) I use to strip it down and take it inside each session but it drove me insane ( 2 hour set up ) and 61 years of age it wears you out a bit.
I’m guessing the weather in Tassie during winter is not kind to mounts and scopes or maybe a security reason ???
Cheers
Martin
