I'm not trying to pick on SBIG. I just assume you'd have more knowledge about their products given your commercial arrangements...

Thanks,

Yes. Dosn't work indefinietly.

I've seen "gold" plated connectors corrode.

Multi-layer filters are somewhat hygroscopic....as many PST owners will testify...

But hey... a small camera, with no fans or exposed PCB's, with bugger-all thermal inertia, well, like a SVXHR9! ..... might be a happy little vegemite for years.

But, I prefer to give several kilo's of CCD camera sporting 65mm square filters, a warm, dry and cosy environment when I'm not using it.

What you choose to do...well...it's up to you.
