Worked fine. Just check with Bintel whether you need the 1.25" or 2". From memory the 2" was OK on my scope and the 1.25" is OK for an 8" scope, but check anyway.
I can pump out a lot of heat. I accidentally put mine on full blast one night and the air current were so bad i couldn't see anything clearly. Usually only ran it at the lowest setting. |
Be especially careful with this, I ran mine flat out one night by accident and melted the secondary holder!
