I've been toying with the idea of cooling the 10" Meade LX200 ACF OTA.
Has anyone every attempted one of these?
I usually store it outside, but in Mudgee the temp can drop from 20°C during the day down to the negatives at night, and in the summer it can be 45 in the day and under 20 in the evenings, so I reckon I'd get some benefit from cooling.
I have't pulled the Meade apart before, I have stripped the C8 down multiple times, hopefully it is a similar level of difficulty.
Anyone have any traps to watch out for, other than marking the front corrector plate for correct replacement?
