That is 40 below ambient. When you read about CCD's, their cooling is usually listed as the delta temperature change... not the temperature that it will get the sensor to.

The FLI ML8300 is nearly double the price of the ST8300, and cools a further 10c... We'll have to wait and see how long it takes the ST8300 to reach its temperature..

Fred - Yep, with the tiny little focal length I'm using, guiding via OAG should be easy as pie, and the 5.4um pixels should really make the difference over the 7.8um pixels in my current camera.
