Dear RST-135(E) users, 

could you please provide me with your experiences of this mount when exposed to temperatures below 0 degrees centigrade and with humid conditions like dew building up over night.

I rarely have conditions below -10 degrees centigrade and I'm not sure whether I would go imaging when it happens, since I have to stay next to my equipment over night. Unfortunately I couldn't find any temperature range specs for this mount.

Dew happens regularly in autumn at my site. I assume the RST-135(E) has no issues with it but would be pleased if you can confirm.

Thank you and clear skies
Wolfgang

This will not directly answer your question but others may have an interest.  I have the RST-135, no encoders.  I use mine in very hot and dry conditions.  The opposite of your conditions.

I can say that it performs very well at temperatures nearing 40c.   And very pleased with the mount generally.
