My observatory is just the back deck at this stage but the scope sleeps in the garage. It eventually peaked at 35 degrees in there yesterday.
I keep the scope covered with two cheap sleeping bags and I was surprised that it seemed to provide a small amount of insulation as the metal on the scope was still coolish to the touch compared to other metal objects in the garage.
But I decided to follow glend's lead and brought it into the house this morning as temps are predicted to be 37 today and 42 tomorrow.
Unfortunately, the garage has four metal roller doors - two facing east and two facing west. During the morning and in the afternoon, the offending pair of doors becomes hot enough to burn my fingers and all this is radiated into the garage.
