No progress yet.. the outdoor temp last night was 14.5° at 11:30pm - very mild!

I haven't had my mirror out yet to clean it and then attach the other sensor. Plan to do it on the weekend.. when I get home from work it's happy hour with the kids, feed, bath, bed etc, and then it's lie on the lounge time

I ended up buying the DSE 12V fridge & the temp. sensor unit too. No time as yet to do much like get the peltier system out of the fridge, but I did test the sensor unit out. Is seems reasonably accurate. I bunged one sensor in the fridge just to experiment a bit.

Thanks everyone,

After chatting with a few gurus, it sounds like a fan is not a bad thing to have. And if you didn't have one it could be easily added.

In fact, it sounds like... if you have a telescope without any personal modifications, you don't really have a scope!

So what's the doctor going to do now? Will his children go without food and shoes to fund the GSO 12" Dobsonian? Will his astro-widow have to get another job to fund his addiction? Stay tuned!

and thanks again!

No not at all. It's more like how some can satisfy their astronomy cravings when its cloudy
