Default Cooling a C-11?

What is the name of the cooling fan, long tube, that goes inside a SCT
telescope? I'm looking for one, for my C-11. I've seen it some where. Any
one has it for sale?

It's called a Cat Cooler and is made by Lymax.

I bought one several years ago for my C11 but have never used it because I
usually have an aligned camera on the telescope which is too inconvenient to
remove whenever you want to insert the cooler. It would be great for visual
use though.

If you want to buy mine let me know. It's a few years old but in as-new
condition.

Is there any difference the newer ones and older models? Website claimes 25
minutes cooling time, is it true? How much you asking for it?

Thanks, Julius

I'm not sure of the cooling time as I've never used it, but I guess it would
depend on the ambient temperature and the temperature of the mirror.

Mine looks identical to the current one in the picture on their web page and
I still have the allen key (for changing tubes) and the spare filter
element.

You can have it for half price + freight. Say...US$75?
