Would be an issue for planetary imaging, if it is that bad, but you don't need cooling for planetary.

Any camera with a fan will have fan vibration to some degree - these are the only ones that allow it to be tested because they run fast enough to see it (at video rates) and you can turn off the fan.

As far as that test is concerned i agree with Ray, it would be irrelevant on DSOs and in the real world of lucky planetary imaging where any sus frames are discarded from the video stream. If he wants to do anything about it, four small silicon pads under the mounting screws, would futher isolate the fan. There are no reported vibration problems from any of the Beta testers, who have done a good job in real world testing.

Ray i would like to copy your flat box build.
Cool, cheers guys. That was my last concern with this camera. My trius is now up for sale.
