The attached image contains 2 frames from a brand new opticstar 142M ICE camera.
First use of the camera using 2 minute exposures showed a white patch in the top left corner which was more pronounced in the darks. I notified opticstar the day after I took my first images and received a reply stating sensor "Glow" is normal.
Sensor Glow is normal but after only 2 minutes and on a cooled camera -hmmmm.
So, I did some investigation and found that if I turned the cooling off, the glow almost dissapeared - turn it on re-appeared..... as per attachment......I believe the peltier cooling device has been wired in reverse so it's heating not cooling!
Opticstar can't see the problem tho and have asked me to take dark images with the cooling off and then on (which I have already done)????? Very frustrating!
Does anyone here think the camera might have a problem?
Very unhappy
