Also, it may be an ASIAIR control thing, but if my cooler maxes out to 100% then it stops cooling altogether (stays on 100% but temp rises to ambient). I lost several hours of data due to this silly glitch.
Thanks Dave for your input
The main thing that caught my attention was the power consumption maxing out at 100%. My 2600MC has never done that since I bought it in July 2020.
During summer it’s always cooled close to -10C or at -10C but the power consumption was only 70 to 90% depending conditions, never 100% maxed out.
Again humidity in Sydney lately has been terrible so I’m waiting for lower humidity to run some more tests.
I’m sure it’s just age and conditions that’s causing this abnormality. The camera is working fine.
I’ve done all my imaging with both 2600MC and now 2600MM at -10C.

Cheers
Martin
