Last couple of days the remote obs have been sitting in temps of above 41 degrees C during the day and temps in the mid 20's at night. Inside each observatory the temps have been in the high 40's. Both observatories have endured these temps for several periods during summers for the last few years since I began operating remotely. That includes computers, UPS, scopes, mounts etc. No effects have been observed so far in regard to heat. That said, I don't operate the cameras in those temperatures and wait until I can open the shutters before starting the cameras. Sitting idle in such temperatures should not affect any equipment you might have in your observatory.
