Chrissyo,


Its more to do with the other end...you get peak performance from your scope once your mirror has cooled down to the ambient temperture outside.....if you have stored your scope in the car for EG.... it will take hours before the mirror has cooled.......so this is when the cooling fan helps...the bigger the mirror the longer it takes to cool down..........
