I don't have a problem with vibration as I put heatshrink tubing in the fan mounting holes and rubber washers either side of the fan to absorb the vibrations.

Thanks Martin. That's interesting as we originally bought the peltier junctions for a camera we use at night and haven't yet got around to using them. Sounds like for the solar camera we might go without the controller. It saves a bit of extra weight which is a good thing. We'll have another look at our fan mounting. Hopefully if we get any sun this week we might be able to do an actual live test and see how it all goes.
