And complete with TEC, radiator and fan system mounted, neoprene sleeved and yes, the holes are drilled in the nosepiece ... and I've blackened the edges. I've even sandwiched the neoprene between the adapter and the collar as extra insulation to minimise heat loss to the OTA. Only conduction path is up the thin walled nosepiece.

Window Heater is the last item to work on. I'm using a 2" extender on the scope to enable focus and it has a slotted top collar so I may be able to use that to get wiring inside to the heater.

The question now is how many clouds do you think this will bring on ?
