How hot is it in your observatory?
I just saw 49.3C in my observatory (it's 42C outside in the shade right now). Even with the solar exhaust fan buzzing away madly the temperature can't be held down to ambient. I've had to prop the door open to try and get better air exchange. I don't keep anything that can easily be moved in the observatory during the summer for this reason. All that's sitting out there is the NEQ6 mount head on the pier, all the other gear is in a box in my air con'd study. I won't leave cables, controllers, PCs, etc out there in this heat.
What are the temps like in yours and what do you do about heat management in the summer?
