Cool Your Telescope Plus A Secret! The Upgrade Challenge FINALE (PART 4) by Reflactor

I got this large Orion XT10 Dobsonian telescope for cheap. It took a lot of work and money just to get it up to stock. I challenged myself to do a super upgrade for just $100. This video is the last of the series. Did we beat the budget?

In this last part of the upgrade challenge, we add a dual viewfinder, cooling fans, and finally fix the ugly dust cap. Lastly, I give an update on flocking.
