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.
