Thanks Stan! I could tell last night that the Cool Edge works pretty well. Unfortunately, the seeing wasn¡¯t very good so I haven¡¯t had the chance to really test the scope. I will post something after a decent night.

Yes, the Cool Edge is very effective and I use it every evening. But once it is removed?and as night time temps decrease, the scope may start to lag. But that's usually not a problem (e.g. the interior is so well cooled that I sometimes have a problem with dew on the interior surfaces later in the night).

I have the classical model so once the tube is sealed for imaging there isn't?any air exchange, unlike the Edge.? The vents alone may be sufficient and so you might hold off on the fan inserts until you?detect a need.??The inserts?might inhibit the effectiveness of the Cool Edge?if they?overly obstruct the vents.?Cool Edge can really move a lot of air, but not if the vents are constricted.

After you have some experience, let us know if the upgrade was worth it.
