Just saw the temperature hit 40C in the shade outside my kitchen, and inside the observatory hit 50.9C, with the door propped open and the exhaust fan running. There are no scopes, cameras, or computers in there now, i removed them last night into the air conditioned house. Time to pack up everything till February. The Seeing is terrible anyway, even after midnight the earth is still shedding all this heat and the stars at zenith are still dancing around, and even if it was to improve there is no way my camera cooler can hold -25C on these hot nights.
Good to have a break i guess.
