Pack up and down of imaging train

Hi guys,

When you are expecting to be out imaging a few nights in a row, do you disassemble everything each night?

I've been taking everything apart after each session, mainly thinking it will help things stay dry, but I'm aware that everytime I take my camera off my filter wheel that there's a chance of dust getting in, and I guess possible thread damage (though I'd like to think I'm not quite that ham-fisted). Up to now (as with my mount) I consider that I'm still bedding down the set up procedure, but I reckon I have it all locked in and should start doing whats best for longevity of gear.

I assume its a trade off, but wonder if there is an absolute consensus that I should just follow

Cheers,
JP
