How hot is your observatory?

Hi,
I'm just in the very basic stages of planning a backyard observatory.

I'm wondering however, how hot do they get? And how hot is too hot?
I live in the hills district in Sydney where it can get as hot as 38 in the shade in summer. I'm just wondering how much hotter it would be inside a shed and if the heat may fry my scope/camera.

Obviously having a white/cream shed would work best. Would plastic/hard vinyl work better than a steel shed? What have you guys discovered works best?

Cheers,
Gus.
