When Summer Heat Defeats Imaging - ASI1600 Cs
As in past years, I packed up the observatory gear a couple of weeks ago and brought everything back into the house. I tend to image hibernate over summer because of the crappy Seeing, and the high overnight temperatures that keep me from getting my 1600MM-C sensor to stay at -25C. All my Darks, Bias, etc library is shot at -25C, so i just wait for it to cool off again.
What's your strategy for heat management? I know Dunk has a higher temperature target setting, that lets him go longer during this season. Do you just shoot at a year round higher temperature target (say -15C); or run various Dark libraries to suit different seasons?
