Dunk, I've opened my 450D recently. It was my first time molding a dslr. Doing the uv/ir mod to make it full spectrum was both simple and quick and for the fact that I only use this camera for Astrophotography makes it now an invaluable tool.
I am hoping to pickup a second 450D to attempt a cold finger on. Last night outside temps were chilly chilly and after an hour or two of imaging the sensor was still a toasty 25c
I used icnr and results were clean enough but far from perfect.
I got some incredibly useful info from Glen last week as I was originally planning to do a cold box. I think I may use my knowledge of computer water cooling (as well as my extensive list of CPU cooling spares) to get the best out of it. I don't know how to seal mine up though as I'm using it on a camera lens.
Dunno if a nichrome wire heater on the glass is the go. Dunno dunno dunno.
Lots to think about but it's great having so many people on here who have done it.
