My qhy9 ccd chip cracked the 4-5th time I used it. Catch you later $400. It was being cooled to -25C. I had maxim using the warm up feature but that still didn't help. I was told later that the kaf8300 chip should not be cooled below -10 as it dramatically increases the chance of cracking.

I don't understand how people get to -62 and don't have their chips explode.
