SN10 Test on Carina

I was testing the fridge and a heater to slightly warm the focuser and filter box so there would be no condensation. The fridge was on all day yesterday with heater on focuser. I woke up at 0300HR this morning to clear skies and did some test exposures before twilight started.

Canon 5DH, Meade SN10, Paracorr PLU-1106, Hutech LPR filter.

This image is from 3x2 min exposures at 800 ISO with the fridge at -7.0C. I need to shorten? the Paracorr to sensor distance to fine tune correction but otherwise it all looks good so far.
