Makes me feel lucky (again) for being able to roll my gear out of my garage.

i've been very happy with mine
tom has been quite helpfull.
fwiw i take the scope inside and leave the mount out
with no loss of alignment.
here's a satillite's view of my two covers


biggest scare: found a brown widow with egg sac attached to the inside of the cover. check your covers and clean your tripod feet if you live in spider country.

I called Telegizmo, spoke with Bob and one idea he gave me was to place an astroturf matt under the mount. He also said I should test the cover with a hose and if it leaked he'd exchange it. Of course after about 7 minutes of blasting a hose on the cover, not a drop leaked through.
Well, I kept the cover, bought an astro turf mat, and now place a towel and a heavy duty contractors trash bag under the Telegizmo cover over the mount. All seems well now. And yes Bob knows his product and was a pleasure to speak with.

I'll use your idea of a low watt bulb if the problem does arise again.
Thanks

My scope is in a roll-off roof observatory, so the observatory itself provides protection. But since the observatory is not sealed or insulated (for thermal equilibrium), the bag provides some additional protection for the scope.
