Looking good Rick. Impressive FoV with this set up. Bummer about the camera though. Make sure you argue the point with Andor support that when you purchased the camera that it came with life time chamber warranty. Note that Andor no longer offer this, to quote the web site "All Alta systems are backed by a 2 year warranty on the camera and a 3 year warranty on the CCD chamber integrity." Repairs are done out of Ireland these days.
I have a spare Alta F16M-D9 body at SSO if you get stuck without a camera for a long period of time. Happy to loan it to you. Note that the deep cooling body has a different optical backfocus to the regular D7. 34.6mm versus 25.6mm for D7 body. This may or may not work with your set up depending on backfocus requirements of the optical train. PM or email if interested.
