You could just cut power to the fan if you dont want it to run during imaging.

Yes the cables run across the aperture just as with any Hyperstar set up. There is a trick to running the cables. If you run the cables in a curved configuration like in Gerald's picture here the result will be a nice image without odd diffraction spikes, which is what you're likely to get when running the cables off in a straight line.
