Id love to see what we could do with a modified camera  |
Thanks tornado33,
Yeah, Eta C has caught my eye rising late at night. Keep up that great work with all those southern sky planetary nebula - looking forward to it.
Well I think it is nearly time I do something about my camera and modify it myself. It really doesnt seem that difficult, just a little treachorous.
What would be really super is if I could move the entire CMOS Sensor array into an air-tight chamber and use my thermo-electric cooler to cools things down (upto -35C below ambient).
I think you can now go buy one of these TEC coolers at Big W !!! in the form is an Esky which "refrigerates" itself via a TEC device. I think they cost around $80+, and i suppose you could disassemble it to get the TEC device out.
Anyhow thats just dreaming, but the filter removal/replacement for the EOS
might my a good new year project.
Best Regards & Merry Xmas
