Ah well done. Many years ago when I lived in Canberra and was more accustomed to the cold I once tried to observe with an 8” at DeadHorse Gap - the saddle above Thredbo - in mid January. Even then it was eye wateringly cold and I didn’t last long with ski gear on.
Another I tried was a resort at Shangri-La, 3,200m in Yunnan far southwest China. This had the most stunning night sky I’ve ever seen and was rather warmer being tropical.
