peltier usage

during winter i could take 10 second exposures with my lpi with minimal hot pixels... now the weather is warming i am struggling with 2 second exposures!

i had never looked into cooling with peltiers before today and was browsing jaycar and noticed they are only about $10. I have a suitable fan and heatsink already so what else would i need? is this a hard project to do? (i have absolutely no electronics ability) anyone here done this before? how effective is it? i only have a 9v battery for the RA drive on teh mount... how would i power it?

thanks in advance for input/comments
