Temp sensing, finally

Ok i've finally made some steps to start active cooling..

First things first though.. measuring the temperature.

Went to d.ick smith and got a digitor Slimline Electronic Dual Thermometer for $30, and also some thermal paste for $4.

So, what now?

I take it the "indoor" temperature is measured from on the unit itself - therefore this should be my "amient" temperature measurement? Where should I put this on my scope? Anywhere on the base with velcro?

The "outdoor" temperature is measured by a sensor at the end of a 3m long wire. I take it this is my "mirror" temperature measurement? So do I glue this sensor onto the side of my mirror, with the thermal paste?

What else do I need to know?

Thanks in advance.
