Ordered a 12" dob to mod.

I think I noticed that you wrote up some stuff on doing a few mods?
Very helpful, its good to see the stuff that's shared on this forum. I have a few ideas for improving cooling but will need to test a few things first. My gf's father is a sparky, pretty good with electronics so he'll probably be able to give me a hand.

Will be a bit of work but pretty keen to experiment a bit with it before I look at either getting something better or building a newt later. This should keep me amused for some time I'd imagine!

Not really sure how the weather here in Canberra will be for a larger scope, probably going to run into a few issues due to temperature variations lol

Collected some more data tonight with the 106, pretty surprised at the detail I could squeeze out, but definitely hitting its limits I think.

This planetary imaging thing is pretty addictive and good fun.
