Variable speed mirror fan

Hey folks.

Had a bit of spare time on my hands with the cloud and rain over the last few days.

Decided to mod the newt and attach a mirror fan.

Made use of the useless back plate which normally seals the back of the SkyWatcher 8" and attached a computer fan and Dork Smith 12v variable speed drill unit.

Also wired a socket to power the unit from a cigarette lighter adaptor plugged in to my 17aH powertank.

Came up OK, if I say so myself

Looking forward so seeing the result when it's working on the scope.
