How about temperature at your place at astro season ?

I only do visual so astro season is year round as a 20 minutes cloud break is enough to get some enjoyment. The coldest I've been out observing in Victoria was +3° and the warmest night probably in the vicinity of +27°. That said, I've done a lot of naked eye observing growing up below zero in the snow. I'm pretty sure my limit would have been around -5° though.
I think it's a smart move to setup and go back inside
