How cold is too cold

[brascoe]

i have to laugh , and no offence meant , but your signature says fareham , and if im not mistaken that is down south on just about on the south coast of england , near portsmouth ? all i can tell you is you are in for a mild winter !! at loudoun hill where i am , it regularly went below -18 , one afternoon it was -14 in the sun at 2 o`clock , it stayed below -18 (my thermometer stops at -18lol) every night for almost two weeks ,so i dont really know how cold it was , the we had a mild spell over christmas , -5ish , then another week and half of -18 or colder , and that is in scotland , we have forum members in the wilds of canada where it will drop below -40 regularly . the scopes are fine with cold ! the only problem i had was the handset of my skywatcher , it ran really slow and the numberss/letters on the display all kind of merged into a blob , so i modded a big woolly hill walking sock into a jacket for it , worked fine after that .
