I do laugh at this thread however. Seems like a p***ing contest. Has anyone actually tried the Apogee U16M with D9 cooling? Minus 75 below without water reticulation my friends! Seriously though, what are the gains. One can do accurate work operating at -10 with good darks. Moot point. Lets not get too carried away with equipment shall we. Its what you do with it that counts.
...seems you are happy to join in the errr? p***ing (?) contest too though Jase

Hmm? wonder why Apogee bothered if -10C is good enough

No point having super cooling if the read noise is high

...how are ya anyway Jase? good to have the Jennings frankness back ...anyway back to Gregs nice image Ooops
