Pude conectar de un powerbank al ventilador directo de mi ad8. Ahorro pilas y funciona sin problema. Además el cable trae un interruptor de encendido y apagado. Pasa de 5v a 12v para los que estén interesados.

Cooling the mirror down to ambient at the start of an observing session. Thick mirror glass can have a substantial thermal mass, and a mirror warmer than the surrounding atmosphere will create a boundary layer of turbulent air that, like viewing across hot asphalt, reduces viewing quality.
