GEQ suggestions sought

HI all

My life is so hectic that much of my observing is done on the fly, getting a 10-15 minute session in at bedtime is typical. I seek a GEQ that I can leave outdoors under a plastic tub and blankets, to protect it from rain and snow. I have a wonderful AP 600 on a pier which fulfills this function well, but it often takes more time to set up the electronics and to calibrate than I have to observe. Can anyone suggest a GEQ that will take a 15# telescope and which I can use in a manual mode, preferably one compatable with Star Commander?

Many thanks

Robert Howe
