I was thinking shade cloth over top that can be rolled back when needed, some of those sunny 44c days can realy heat things up.

The roll off shade cloth sounds like a good idea Shaun ... I have a couple of small pieces attached to my guide tracks ( I just had them lying around so they cost nothing ) and I have insulation attached to the inside of the roof ( like a batt with silver backing ... you buy it in rolls .. again I had some lying around and luckily it fit ) ... plus the roof is white colourbond to reflect the heat a bit. Best not to leave your scope in the obs though when it gets to those sort of temps. My WO FLT110 is pretty easy to carry in and out but my 254mm Newt weighs in at 15kgs so it doesn't get used much anymore
.
Good luck !
