Well it's slowly coming along. Where I'm at so far, after starting with the off-the-shelf unit.

1) Removed the std finder
2) New Telrad & mounted laser pointer
3) Kendrick Digifire 10 with EP heater, Telrad heater, Laser heater, 2ndry heater.
4) Primary mirror fan (put a bigger one on the 20", so put the old one on the 12")
5) Digital temp sensor showing Ambient & Mirror temp + Humidity.
6) Fitted all wiring, plugs, switches etc to run all of the above.

Have bought the bits ready to modify the ground board to make it a Powered Ground Board, so no more cables hanging around. The idea being that I just plug in the power supply cable coming from the trailer. Same as I do for the 20" SDM.

The last thing I want to do is replace the focuser for a Feathertouch. But I think that will have to wait a while.
