Hi everyone,
I just purchased a 15" Obsession from a fellow astromarter in TX last weekend. It was a long trip but well worth it, Jeremy was great to do business with. My only complaint was the scope not haveing any dew control. After some thought and planing I was able to come up with a pretty good removable wireing system for the scope. Check it out......

Congratulations on your new scope Jay.
It'll bring you many nights of viewing pleasure.
I hope you got some clear skies to go with it.

Jay,

It looks really good.

I built in similar, but added a battery to the bottom of the mirror box and wired in. I tucked the controls under the truss poles and put in a variable control. The switch on the other side is the face fan.

The fan on the bottom has a switch on the black face plate. That face plate also has in input for charging (or external power if the battery dies) and a fuse.

I did later realize that I can actually charge through the dew connector on the side of the box for easier access.
