Trouble with the peaks is, its a very populated national park in the park itself, but also surrounded by major citys. Mancs, Sheffield, Derby and Notts. I always find unlike a lot of other national parks, the peaks really doesn't have decent dark skies, bortle 4 at best I believe. So where ever you point the camera, lower to the horizon are big horrible glows.

thanks grant that makes sense thought it was me where do you recommend? cheers

If you assembled the system inside, where I would think, there wouldn't be much moisture in the air ??  how did the water get into the dome ? so I'd also check the sealing between the dome & the box... 

If you are able, I'd be tempted to 3D print a ring to go around the dome base, making a more secure seal.... 

thanks unfortunately not but there is a rubber gasket under the dome to box and a rubber seal all round the abs box lid

just thinking about fitting the small metal enclosure power supply in the botton of the white box and drill some holes into the dome parts for more heat,any thoughts guys

Nope... amazing images can be produced with any sized pixels, as long as they are appropriate to the focal ratio used! 

how do i work out that the 462 would be appropriate for my c8 edge Craig,as im just about to push the button👍
