Hello All,

I am looking for some ideas to keep the temperature of my garden shed observatory down in summer.

I have a tin shed type observatory with fold off roof and during summer temps get VERY hot in here and I am concerned abbot the health of my scopes and electronics which are permanently mounted.

Anyone have any good suggestions regarding possible methods to cool this puppy down?

I have had suggestions to use exhaust type fans etc… which I can do, but if someone else has a proven design I would be interested in how you did it.

I was thinking something along the lines of Solar panel, 12 v battery with regulator to keep it charged but not overcharged. Some extractor fans up high and maybe a temperature switch that kicked the fans on when temp is above a certain degree.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Best Regards
