Yep, simple physics... A bit like trying to chill a large room with a flat BTU rated airconditioner. Using the same unit in a small room it will result in colder temperatures....but as I've posted elsewhere, it really matters not
provided your chamber temps are stable...which SBIG do quite well
Besides, anyone using 16803 or 11002 sensors would well know with that sort of CCD acreage cosmic rays rapidly become your biggest noise problem!
The STX 16803 chamber is really quite big as it also houses the guide chip (hence the need for 65mm filters).
Contrary to popular opinion, you can also use 50mm square filters!
SBIG have a 7 position, 50mm carousel, which I use quite often, but in doing so have to use the remote guide head, instead of the internal guider.
I'm quite confident you'll be cranking out some remarkable images with the new "tank"
