Only recently (10th August) i had been up in Armidale at the Kirby Observatory, outside with my 8" SCT imaging comets, it was -8 that morning!
I had 2 pairs of fleecy pants on and one pair of jungle trousers, 2 x t-shirts , one jumper and one fleece lined Drizabone..........wearing work boots with 2 pairs of socks and i still couldn't feel my toes!
No gloves, and my hands were that cold i could hardly grip the knobs to release my SCT from the eq wedge. When my hands thawed they swelled up and went bright pink......i doubt i would have wanted it to be much colder!!!!
