Hi Dean,
I had mine in the desert last year when the temps hit 115F. I had it
under the silver scope cover from TeleGizmos. This keeps it relatively
cool as it reflects the heat.
Thanks, Rick

I do cover the mount during the day, but it does get hot enough you
can't pick it up. I have recorded temps close to 120 in June
