Store scope in fridge???
Okay, sounds crazy, I know. But since some people go to extraordinary lengths to get their scopes down to ambient temperature, what would be wrong with using an old outdoor refrigerator to store a telescope in?
My thoughts are that you could jury rig the thermostat to kick in whenever the temperature went above, say, twenty degrees, to prevent it from overheating. And then when you were planning an observing or imaging session you could have the fridge set to automatically match the outdoor temperature. Crack open the fridge (and a tinny too), stick it on the mount, and away you go...
Please tell me what's wrong with idea without sounding too patronizing.
Thanx,
Brian.
