Active Peltier Cooling Telescope Modification and Tutorial

[A.S.I.G.N_Baz]

G'day all. For those interested.......

With inspiration and guidance from Paul and Anthony (They developed this method) from Southern Celestial Pole, I have completed an active cooling modification and tutorial on my C11 SCT, using Peltier coolers. The aim is to significantly improve the image stabilisation through reduction of thermal differences within the telescope compared to outside ambient temperature.

My thanks to both Paul and Anthony for their encouragement and backing to share this around.

Cheers,

Baz.

Wow!  Well done Baz.  Interesting project.
It takes some guts to try something like that.  But I don't think I'll be attacking my C11 anytime soon ...

You're a clever chap, Baz, you would get on well with Mark!

It's all a bit above me
