A short length of nichrome wire was placed around the telescope side of the CMOS to act as a dew heater to help control condensation during operation. The cold finger and CMOS sensor were then placed back into the camera.

Regulated temperature control is achieved by means of a simple thermostat controller, sourced from eBay. The thermostat control board is shown in the small grey plastic box to the left of the camera. The peltier is also shown in the top left corner of the green cutting board.
