You can get them from AliExpress

That's very cool Ken
We had actually seen this suggested on a DSO forum where someone was using an uncooled planetary camera for long exposure subs. Thanks for the link. Have you measured how much it's cooling your camera? It seemed from the other discussion that a reduction of 10 degrees on the sensor was normal. It looks like Martin's set up is achieving better than this, maybe even up to 20 degrees.
