I might buy a bottle of Argon.
I am thinking that if my adjustment proves successful I'll find out the best way to clean all
of the glass surfaces inside the camera to stop dust doughnuts -
then seal around the 3 connectors with Dow Corning 738 non-acidic silicon -
then gas the whole camera with Argon .
That would certainly be an improvement to the factory setup
& extend the camera's life.
It's great when we post information for other people.
I've tried to contribute valuable information here -
from adjusting the camera to attempting artificial star tests.
Thanks for the Argon gassing tip.
cheers
