I estimated the apparent temperature at the summit was approaching -20 C which I was dressed for, but having my outer mitts off for photography was painful! I'm sure that your new observatory will incorporate a warm room...

Yes it will, but -20C
hope we don't get that here!
We are a fair bit further north and west of Kosciuszko and not quite as high (1450m v 2200m), so hope not!
