i've just aquired a quickcam 3000 and bought myself a 1.25" adapter for it. As a dob owner i'm be mainly confined to planets/moon to start with.. so I was thinking if re-fitting the cam into a fan cooled jiffy box would be of any real advantage? Does the 'hot dots'(i don't know what their really called) only appear during longer exposures?
If it is a good way to go to get it cooled.. obviously a larger/faster fan would move more air.. but wondering if anyone has had and experiences with the fan causing vibration on the cam.
looked at the long exposure mod.. doesn't look that hard.. as i've modded my ps2 and xbox so it's kinda similar in terms of scale.. but of course no point to do it yet cause it's dob.
so yeah.. any input or suggestons??
