Update.
Nothing really but now I have used this little box both with the 80 mm and the 8 inch f5 reflector.
Its snug but firstly which was not something that worried me it keeps you warm and with the bigger scope it was not bothered by wind.
To day I set the battery inside with a regulator and linked to the solar panel on the deck.
I was going to put it on the lid but its really old and may get a new panel so fit a new one later.
Fitted a little seat allowing me to sit behind the scope acccess the camera and the finder scope.
I have yet to fit the computer fans for cooling but I have paired each fan with its own little panel just need to fit them.
The lid opens and rest on the hinges at about 30 degrees I have to fit a chain and a curtain at one end maybe both if the chain is high enough...
But so far working well.
Very happy with the little seat both the way I made it is at the perfect hight between crook legs and getting at the goods...I can lift up using the sides so getting up is easy now.
