Im guessing it was in the low 40's or high 30's that summer day.. at nearly 14,000 feet its always cold and very windy..The wind chill factor made it really brisk.. they keep the temp in the telescope dome below freezing at all times to match the night time outside air temps to keep the lens from warping. #8812162
