Hahahahaha, I've got a pix of a Rally car in a sideways corner and the front left mudguard is just painted duct tape. You can see all the overlaps. They even replaced the sponsor stickers !!
I had some fun with the 450D conversion as well. The trick seems to be to get the little ribbon connectors nice and square in the board plugs. I used a long thin bamboo skewer with a pointed end to manage them. easy to manipulate them like a pen.
Now it just about falls open when I open it up and clicks back together and carries on like nothing happened !!
The cold finger is very efficient in that setup but if I want to go below about 5* I need some damp control options.
Re sensor temp, BYE only displays processor temp, not CCD. I bought a cheap temp sensor unit ( ~$14 I think ) on Deal Extreme plus about 5 probes. One is mounted on the cold finger just as it slides between the CCDand board. Seems quite sensitive and accurate. The other probes are for other projects. One sits under the OTA heater to check the dew control. Plug and play ...
