Yeah I saw those threads David - but I wouldn't need to use a peltier if I have a fridge.

I would place the scope in the fridge at lunch time and then it will have been there for a good 6-8 hours. I guess the secret would be to keep it sealed in the fridge until I had the temps balanced, and monitor the temp in there so that it didn't get below ambient - where it would otherwise dew up on exit from the fridge. Keeping the temp two degress above ambient would be ideal - then it wouldn't take long to reach equilibrium after that.

Cheers
Chris
