-63 delta temp is incredible!! Would definitely love an FLI cam... Few years off I think... Probably a PL16803, or a PL11002M if someone I know decides to go to the 16803 and wants to sell his 11002M
The cooling of the FLI cam's is insane... going purely from tech specs, the SBIG STX range might be similar.. and the Apogee D9 body will cool to -60 from ambient, but it will take half an hour to do so...
Tell me Mike, whats the KAI-11002M like at -35c? darks I've seen at -20c are fairly noisy (compared to what I'm used to seeing from Sony CCD's anyway. I suppose that is probably all suited to a different thread.. but hey.. while we're on the topic of CCD cooling, which is used to control noise, I guess we're still on topic!
Also, on the normal night (say, 19c outside temps) how long does the Proline take to get to the setpoint? a few minutes?
