Hey Ken

I hope to have the wiring done over the next day or three - depending on the rain outside......

After that, I'll test it in normal exposure mode to make sure that it's all still working as it was designed to. Given that it still works I'll then get one of the guys in our club to do an accurate polar alignment on their scope and I'll try some long exposure tests with and without the peltier running. Just the fact that the CCD array is in contact (via thermal paste) with the aluminium plates and the tunnel walls it should make quite a difference already.

Cheers
Chris
