Hi Glen,
Yeah, I could mill a fair bit off if required but I was thinking to use the thermal mass to stabilize the system. The stainless back plate will be secure enough and the radiator assembly is surprisingly light for it's bulk. My scope setup is quite robust and light for the mount. I think the earlier setups with plastic boxes and associated hardware would be heavier than this and I have some other options for radiators.
I'll have a hunt round for some Artic Silver, I assume it is non-conducting ?
EDIT:
Just had another thought. If I mill most of that copper 'island' on the larger slab off I may be able to mount the TEC and radiator under the camera out of the way and reduce the balance\weight issue. Must investigate further.
