A few pix of my Peltier setup and update on changes.
Switched to a low mass adapter, less metal and contact. I may need to add an extender to the nosepiece that will also reduce the parasitic heat loss. I may also add some neoprene around the lower focusser area so to reduce any losses there as well. A plastic internal sleeve would be the next step if required.
Double layer neoprene insulation which also covers more of the front of the camera. There is now about 10mm of it and being in contact with the body should stop moisture condensation on the outside.
Took the opportunity to thoroughly clean all the dust from the ZWO internals and I've got some Silica capsules to add to manage the dew problem.
The two knurled knobs hold the array and TEC against the camera with a strap of hi temp plastic so hot & cold areas are isolated from each other. I will put a sleeve over the knobs (they do get cold) although they only have a small threaded connection but every little bit helps.
