Another test I ran later.
Camera is now on the scope and the ambient was 25.8*c
Got down to 5.5*C in 15 minutes, tested the 5v hold point at about 12-13*c. Could be useful in the winter.
The T-Adapter stays close to ambient which is good, very little parasitic heat leakage which was an issue with the cold box designs done earlier.
I've Velcroed the meter up on the side on the upper scope saddle.
Then to finish the day off I got the Ob PC onto the home network and installed Team Viewer so I can sit inside in the warm and run the imaging.
Next stage is to get PC control of the mount itself I guess.

Now about those damn clouds !
(Weather report is not good for the next 3-4 days so need to find more projects to do )
