I see that you have siliconed the gap between the sensor frame and chassis and sealed up the sensor at the front. I might look at a gasket of some sort around the sensor frame.
The entire case is airtight so I only sealed off the front of the camera with the window (52mm multi coated UV filter, 54mm would have been perfect) I have avoided the use of silicon as I've heard it not good with electronics.

Temperature control would be nice, how difficult would it be to do? I only know a very basic amount about electronics but have got a large collection of components I've desoldered off PCB's
