When i removed the back cover the cable from the peltier broke off the circuit board .I cannot see where they should be connected. Does anyone have a Atik 16 ic and could take a photo where they are connected. Atik wont deal with such an old camera now so couldnt get help from their online service Many thanks

Thankyou the TEC sits directly on metal body . Also could you recommend a thermal paste so much variation of price . Thanks again .

Looks like pinched optics .This image is from a 80mm refractor I had in 2014 I could have fixed the problem by loosening retaining ring on objective lens but exchanged the scope instead . -
Less aircraft traffic and less road traffic pollution .

100 X 5mins Flats & Bias Subtracted Artemis 285 SW ED100 NEQ6

I got a Artemis 285 which is the same camera off ABS. It cost £300 . I had to make new seals for optical window and buy some desiccant but otherwise its giving good results .Usb 1 is slow for bias as each download is 13 seconds binning 1 .But for a 300 second light frame 13 secs not so bad. This is an image I am working on - M51 60 x 300 secs bias & flats Go for it . M51.tiff
