Insurance has been back re the old camera. Looks like they might take $100 for it !! If they accept that then I've got a 24 mpixel DSLR that can be hacked purely for astro purposes. Really good option in my books. So it may fail one day and it is limited functionally in some areas .
I have an idea to cool it as well. The CCD is only milimetes away from the back cover under where the articulated screen would normally be closed into. Large flat area that could easily take a copper heat sink plate with some peltier cooling. I already have most of the bits. I see another project ahead hopefully, fingers crossed.
