Takahashi Epsilon Telescope Cooling Kit

Description

Takahashi Epsilon Telescope Cooling Kit – Active Cooling Fan

Overview

• Actively cool the telescope before imaging
• Mitigate internal tube thermals – Improves image quality
• Fully Baffled – No light leaks
• Kit uses silicone vibration suppressors – The fan is suspended and NOT screwed to the body, thus eliminating the risk of image blurring from vibration
• Moving air past the optics delays the onset of dew as the temperature will be closer to ambient and not lower
• Calculated air flow ensures laminar flow – Overpowered fans increase the chances of air turbulence that can degrade the image     
• Lightweight, silent, and uses very little power (0.02 amps) – 50 grams (1.8 Ounces)
