Hey folks, I got my old QHY 8 serviced and sorted by Theo at Gama and whilst it was there I upgraded the dc box to version 2- so now I am out cooling it down and I know the original camera like mine does not have set point cooling, the TEC is either off or on, but for those who know- what bearing does the temp gage on the DC box have to the sensor temp? is it totally removed. Also There are two arrows , up and down and several LEDs indicating orange/blue etc, is there a good setting for this old cam or is it a case of just turning it on and hoping it hits max cooling then watching the hot pixels?
I tried to take a dark with maxim and the fits header wouldn't tell me the sensor temp, and in nebulosity you can set a temp but it actually doesn't tell you the current temp.
I will ask Theo after xmas but I thought I would ask the brains trust here first and give poor Theo a day off!
Cheers
