Question about GM1000 - Forums

Yesterday there was a huge power outage in San Francisco where I live. It's still happening.

My GM1000 mount is at a remote observatory in New Mexico and I am unable to access it as my Wi-Fi & power is down. All the equipment is turned off so my concern is that the roof was open last night and the temperature got down to 28F, humidity around 55-60%.

Should I expect there to be some damage to the mount or other gear given that nothing was powered on and the dew heaters were also not functioning?

That should be rather mild temperatures for a mount or anything else in the rig in fact.

This of us without access to remote observatories routinely leave our mounts in far worse conditions. If the conditions you describe damaged the GM1000, it wouldn’t classify as a mount worth its reputation and price.
