Hi welcome to SGL,my 12" dob was in my living room for 2 months when i first purchased it but mrs taffy soon got fed up.I keep mine in my outhouse which is roughly the same temperature as outside plus ive made a cover for it out of weed control membrane ( its centre fold sheet and i sewed up one side) this helps to keep the dust and dirt off it

Thank you all for your suggestions.....don't know if we will get away with putting the dog and kids under the stairs and keeping the telescope out but depending on how our first nights family stargazing pans out it might yet be an option :)

Looks like our dining room has got a new feature !!!!

Hi Obi Wan and welcome to SGL, Harry Potter managed it for a few years :p but on a more serious note, if you have DIY skills then make some boxes for the parts and store in your garage :(

Hi and welcome to SGL.

I keep my scope on its tripod in the shed.

It's out of the way when you aren't using it and it's safe. Plus it's already cooled down every time you want to use it.

Clear skies.
