Write up for peltier cooling an SCT
      11/19/07 08:39 AM

Several months ago I posted a link to SCP about cooling my C14 with peltier coolers.

I have now done a how to and the link can be found in my signature. It has all the images and detail that I could think of.

I hope that those of you with SCT's will consider this option. Mirrors can be brought to temperature quickly and efficiently doing this modification.

I also urge people with newtonians to investigate Bird's site and his excellent article on mirror cooling. It is his invention. I just merely adapted it to suit my C14. To the best of my knowledge it will work with a C11, however I am not sure if it will work with a C9.25. Although smaller parts may make this posible.

I might also work on Meade 12" and 14" LX200R scopes. You will have to negotiate the mirror locking system for this though.

Best of luck. Please consider this as an option.
