Heya guys i got a dsi pro a while back off another user of iis for the use as a guide cam. When i first got it i was thinking why is there a fan on the rear and whats the side port for? Did the orig owner do some kindia on LX mod or something like a guide interface? Anyhow time went on and i just kept using it as a guide cam until the other day came and i thought that the sensor could do with a clean.
I always pull down webcams and plantery imagers to get the dust totally off the sensors so it doesn't get caught between the sensor glass and housing. I opened this baby up to first see the fan was running from the usb power (explains the massive power draw and usb probs with to many devices at one). Next i thought ill pull back to see what the hell this port was for and to my surprise the orig owner placed a 10mm by 10mm TEC to the orig heatsink which is placed up against the ccd
. What a dam smart mod, its only maybe 4.5watts but because its right on the ccd its pure love as its handles that load with ease lol.
Well guys kudos to the orig modder, this is gold and lol you went a different path by not placing massive a tec and then massive heatsink on the back of your dsi pro
I will do some testing and post back here for you guys of cooled and non cooled
This thing maybe will pull sub zero temps, but i cant measure unless the meade software gives a read out of temps
