Fair enough. Just trying to understand how you use yours and why you've added a fan. Train of thought was that if you take it out a lot you'd probably want to cool it quickly to start. At home there's normally an hour to cool beforehand at this time of year. 

I think even if you have an hour cool down fan assisted gives better results than without, plus if observing is a quick decision, the fan gets reasonable cooling in a short time.

Indeed. After I took the photos I initially looked in the telescopes section for the thread. 😂

By the time I'd registered on ABS, I''d missed it 😂 But thanks for the heads up. I'll have to fork out for new next month..
