AP140 first light disappointment

No problems with the scope. It's lovely! However, my camera is on the fritz.

The attached is a quickie 3 x 15 minutes Ha. No flats and focused by holding the button util the stars looked smallish on the screen. The field includes several "space invaders." There's one at the bottom left of the crop. They go away when I warm the camera and reappear in different places when I cool it down again. My guess is that this is ice forming inside the sealed chamber. Time to check how well the lifetime warranty works...

Cheers,
Rick.
