Hi all I recently made a telescope trolley and an unglamorous pallet shed to store the scope and trolley outside. I might insulate the "shed" with fibreglass wool. I own a large Telegizmos 365 cover and was wondering if I could put a Tubular Heater 1ft inside the cover and keep it at a low heat so I can keep condensation off? I live in the wet Northwest of Ireland with lots of condensation. I have to keep the trolley outside for about a year.... Many thanks

Gah. Well back to the drawing board I suppose. Maybe a concrete block tower…. Rusteds solution is fantastic but perhaps too difficult for me. -

Thanks for this and let me ask just for a final time. (Sorry if Im flogging a dead horse!) Would not a wooden telegraph pole 1/3rd submerged and 2/3rds exposed in the earth with concrete not be solid?? just for a C8 and HEQ5 thanks again -

OK so after some inspiration from @Rusted what about a telegraph pole/tree trunk (my brother is a tree surgeon) 1/3rd submerged into the ground with concrete for complete steadiness and then my pier on top. Then a decking surrounding it that is decoupled and then one of those Keter-type sheds placed around/on top of the whole thing with a roll-off roof. Once the decking is decoupled from the telegraph pole it shouldn't make a difference if I dance on it or not. -
