In Sydney I’ve left my EQ6-R and 8” carbon Newt outside on the paved area for years just with an Orion scope cloak over it
No issues at all , replaced the crappy plated cover screws with stainless 316 screws , use silicon spray every month or so and she still look like new ( no rust )
It even went through that rain bomb in 2022 plus the recent one a few weeks ago
A bit of dew and condensation won’t both your mount on that pier
My cloak is tied off with Velcro on the tripod legs about 150mm from ground level , so allows some ventilation
Orion scope cloaks are excellent ( I’ve replaced mine twice in 4 years as the sun does deteriorate them )
Cheers
Martin
