Talking Starklers rough as guts dob fan

Yes folks another one of Starklers rough as guts ATM productions

Since there has been a bit of discussion lately about cooling fans for dobsonians, I thought I should post a few pics of how I approached the issue.

Ingredients:

1x80mm computer psu fan, a plywood disk, a few inches of velcro strip and a few feet of foam weather sealing strip.

The weather strip serves as a gasket and also to isolate mechanical vibrations from the fan from transmitting to the scope.
