Catadioptric scopes have a bad reputation for being difficult to reach thermal equilibrium. They are notorious for being slow.
HOWEVER, there is a change of thinking about both cooling and dew control when it comes to closed-tube Cats, be they SCT's or Maks.
Instead of having them cool, DON'T let them cool!
Have a read through the following thread about insulating closed-tube Catadioptric scopes. It will mean not only not having to wait for thermal equilibrium, but you can begin using your scope at high power
straight away, not two hours later.
Insulating Maks and SCT's, and then pimping it
