I just bought BackyardEOS and was testing it out with my 5DmkII sitting on my lounge last night. It was reasonably cool in my apartment yet after about 30 mins of, not too heavy, use BackyardEOS was reporting my sensor temp as 44deg!!
The camera didn't feel hot at all, maybe just slightly warmer than the air temp so maybe my camera is lying to the software?

A few years ago at christmas time I did a 45 minute exposure when the air temp must have been around 35deg and the image was ridiculously noisy... I know better these days ;-)
