I know it would have cost a tad more but did you consider an FLI camera? You would have no trouble going very cold even on warm nights then. The second night I imaged my last bit of the Vela SNR for example the evening temp at session start was still a balmy thongs and t-shirt +25C but my FLI still got down to a -35 chip temp (just), once it cooled a tad more soon after the camera just chugged away all night, like it does all year round, at a frosty -35C

LOL! Always considering an FLI Mike! They're (and the STL11K) a bit expensive for me right now though. I will certainly end up with either one before too long, because my appetite is a tad insatiable....

The SBIG I have is an old ST-8i and is ex Magellan (Zane), and I condsider it an appropriate stepping stone to a larger model. It's probably a very good learning machine....
