The new Astronomiks on their way seem like they will be very welcomed though so that's good.
Cheers for that mate!

Hi Mike,
The Apogee CCD chamber is sealed and filled with gas - not sure if argon or something else. The mask went on the outside of the CCD chamber and behind the shutter and you could do it yourself. Perhaps they have a different type of mask. Does it go inside the CCD chamber? Or is the whole body of the camera sealed?
