Good mount covers

[rnobleeddy]

Can't find an obvious place to put this - can anyone recommend where I can buy a good quality mount cover?

I don't have a permanent setup, but I'd like to leave my mount outside for a few days/weeks at at time. I'll probably bring it in again if there's going to be a storm/snow etc, but I'd like something that will keep it dry.

I have an EQ5 with motors but without GOTO, if that matters. I can bring the entire scope in easily, so it will just be the mount.

I found a few old threads, so I'd welcome any advice on breathable vs non-breathable, but particularly, they all seemed to link to items/retailers that no longer exist, so current options would be appreciated.

We have a brand(i think international) that sells covers for garden furniture, “pro garden”(what a coincidence!!).  I bought 2 lawn chair covers.  They are lightweight, ventilating and Have a top part thats almost perfectly angled for a scope. Also thought about covers and while looking at bbq-motorcycle-parasol covers etc.  This chair cover fitted the best.  70x70x150/105 cm and €8,- each. Also very handy to keep your set clean etc when stalled Inside.

Telegizmos covers, I have a 365 and leave my mount and scope out for weeks at a time, waterproof and thermally protected as well

Likewise the TG’s are very good and trustworthy

Thanks  - I'll check out those options. Looks like it's a toss up between a cheap garden cover and a very expensive specialist cover, so knowing my usual approach, I'll buy the cheap one, then end up buying the expensive one as well.
