mn56 cooldown

I'm looking to buy/build a modestly sized and priced scope, and the MN56 is one I'm strongly considering. Could anyone who has used this scope make some comments on the cooldown time? I will be able to store this scope in an unheated garage, but will still be looking at temperature drops of around 20 degrees F between setup and observing. Can I hope put the MN56 (or for that matter, even the MN66) to good use in these conditions after 30 minutes outside to stabalize?

Thanks,

Duane
