I sure wouldn't be putting the whole camera in the oven (whatever brand). But I susspect just like the SBIG's there must be a desiccant plug of some kind in there, I just hope they've made it removeable so you can recharge it?

I have to recharge mine on my SBIG occcasionally. It's quite a hot temp but would depend upon the composition of the plug in your particular camera I expect. And mine needs to be baked for a long time. I think it's about 3 hours at 180 degrees C. Googling "desiccant plug" provides infor relating to the SBIG stuff.

Perhaps worth understanding the distinction between camera housing and CCD housing too. There's usually a chamber surrounding the CCD and that's what the desiccant plug attaches to.
