I am putting a pier with an Atlas EQ-G mount in the back yard. I will not be able to build an observatory. Obviously, I want to align the mount and leave it up. I need some ideas for a cover for the mount or the whole setup. It needs to be as discrete as possible and weatherproof. Ideally, I could lock it up.
Any pictures would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!!
