Generally I find with the 60Da that after the first couple of frames, if you leave say 30 to 60 seconds between subs to allow the data to download, the ambient sensor temperature will plateau out very quickly and you get relatively consistent temperatures over an imaging session. BYE though makes it really easy to manage this.
Just make sure you dont have live view running when you start imaging. its a killer. I saw mine leap to about 45 first time I used the camera. Almost wept. BYE defaults it to on when framing and focus which is fine but then you have to wait ages for it to cool down again

david both yourself and brendan may have hit the nail on the head here
i had no idea that the sensor could "boil" like that
i will try the delay technique and the "live view" is also very interesting
thanks guys
