Once the power is switched on there is no need to access the front of the Gemini unit until shut-down. So the cloth will keep some of the moisture at bay. I'm just surprised that my moist maritime (salty) air hasn't been much of a problem. But my wife's scrap of midnight blue cloth should help it last as long as possible. Even if an electronic component degrades, the Gemini-1 seems to be quite repairable as long as things haven't gotten too corroded.

I'm not too worried about anyone stealing the mount. A big 4-inch water pipe sticking up in the vegetable garden with a garbage can upended over it doesn't seem too attractive. But you never know. It does take quite a lot of effort with just the right allen-wrench to make off with it. That mount wouldn't seem to be the sort of thing that the wandering addict would steal to sell for his next fix. The Gemini electronics would be easy to remove, even if the they wouldn't ?know what to do with it.



Michael, I couldn't think of any clever color for the cloth. "Event horizon blues" sounds too ominous. So your "midnight blue" seems to be a better fit.?
