Thanks Jase. Yes I hope to start construction soon.
Thats true about the gear, both are super cameras. I was tempted to do the DO9 body with that -75C but it still takes 35 minutes to get there and that's quite a while if you travel and you want dusk darks. If you forget to start up early you miss out on darks. If the power gets interrupted at 1am you wait 40 minutes for it to regain cold temps. So it is quite a minus for an otherwise awesome camera.
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.  |
