Hi Patrick & Aaron,
Been flat out on my double star work with the 16", and I have not used mine in a while now, hope to have it out and working early August weekend (4th & 5th). Should be well after full moon, so will hopefully get some good hours using it. Last outing we had some spectacular planetary views - Jupiter's GRS was just amazing...
To avoid assembly hassles I modified a Kinchrome moving trolley from Bunnings to move it around on as an assembled unit. So at present it is stored under cover with a large plastic bag covering it. Once I have it out I am going to work out some suitable cooling fans to suit the the primary mirror cell which already has provision for three of them.
Will let you know what I come up with.
