Alistair. That was the original idea. I had high hopes, but space is very restricted. Like most of my projects, it's just a matter of time until I get a bright idea. If not, then I will redesign the whole thing and basically, start again. The concept is simple. It's the mechanics that are problematic...?

EDIT: Refering back to the 1000D cooling mod, I looked at the possibility of piping warm air, but was too impatient to get things up and running and tested.

Max differential is now -18 - camera off. So I am quite pleased with the range of control and margin to accommodate sensor warming during imaging. Tweaked the voltage on the internal TEC to improve the range.

EDIT: Bright idea! Will report back. Just needed to think about it... elementary dear Watson...

I think I have found a way to pipe warm air after all.... excited!

Work gets in the way at times.
