At -70°C I guess a warm room is a good idea alright!

Hi Frank

Was this picture taken from Clare a few weeks ago :) ? I guess the cooling down period for the scopes would not be a problem!

And there we were complaining about the cold.

-80C?. Would your GOTO still work? Grease would probably freeze - LCD would be unreadable, SLR would be unusable, batteries would be dead in minutes? - However the scopes in that picture look to be off the shelf stuff.
Touch the tripod and you'll stick to it. :)

At least they don't have to worry about light pollution.

How far is Hobart? :lol:

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.
