Weather protection

What protection do people use for their scope if they leave it outside (temporarily) at night?

A dickie bird told me that the Green Witch item, is just a barbeque cover with an astro mark up, so I bought one of those instead. One very much like this in fact. It has two sets of four eyelets, so you can bungie it to your tripod legs, preventing it from blowing off in high wind.

Another vote from me for the Green Witch scope cover (even though it might be a barbecue cover... Big barbecue though!).

Although I suspect many may raise an eyebrow, my MN190/NEQ6 has been outside in the garden under the cover for the past 2 weeks waiting for a clear sky and (thankfully!) it works a treat...

Garden table cover from the pound shop used it a couple of time at star parties no signs of any wet or damp underneath and they are breathable too. I was so impressed I got the wife to get me a spare.

Green Witch cover for us too.

Thoroughly recommend the Green Witch cover, I've left mine in heavy rain overnight, rather than get everything wet when dis-assembling and it was perfectly dry in the morning
