Really, the benefits of deep cooling for a 1000D or 1100D are limited, because Canon has managed to keep the dark noise low, to a point, after which it is exponential. If you can get your sensor down somewhere between 5 - 10C, any lower has marginal benefit.
The 5D MKII on the other hand benefits enormously from cooling, because the sensor temperature escalates to ridiculous levels with long exposures. Measured externally, bottom left hand side of the sesnor frame, even with cooling the sensor is 5C warmer when exposing, than the camera on temperature, which is 3C warmer than camera off. It's a beast. But cooling to -5C - 0 is adequate.
Have fun. Maybe we should have a workshop to reclaim some of the collateral.

Myself and wife grabbed a starshoot pro v2 color aka qhy8l the other day man, lol 3rd 1100d so i've given up as its adding up to much now for experimental fun. Might see what she wants to do and may just pass onto you to tinker with instead of the bin lol, the 3rd 1100D has the noise issue which a far share of CN user have had and will just use now for a time-lapse/ lighting cam. The first cam is stripped down into pieces after i thought it was dead (Always check the battery door switch ROFL), second cam wont open shutter or something bro in law plonked it in a box with no casing when i was working on re-house AHHHHH!!! So now i'am just moving onto the ccd path so i can get back to what i enjoy without being stuck with an un-modded cam.
Have to start now on getting my second st80 collimated and maybe a rehouse of the dsi pro to shave some weight off the guide system and fix the dam flexture issues we are having. Next real project will be building a portable pc with some juiced up usb 3 ports as running 2 notebooks is getting a bit sad and i really need 2 screens. I also need the full bandwidth of usb 2 on the dsi and imager along with amps.
