[Utah-astronomy] Dobsonian Cover?

1 Jun 2009

      I'm looking for a good solution to keep my dobsonian safe out in the
elements.  I am wanting to leave my dobsonian out on the deck at my
house.  When the scope is not in use, it will be about 6' under the
eves.  The area where I want to set it will be safe from rain except
when the rain comes in sideways.

I am thinking that a large tarp that is tied down will be ok, but I
want to hear what others have to say.

Thanks.
