TEC and Baader ACF modded Canon 350D

[astrovirus]

Just wanted to share a project of mine I have taken on over the last couple of months. I modded my Canon 350D with a Baader ACF and aslo installed peltier cooling as well. I hope to be able to regulated the temperature set point within a few days with a TEC controler which is being build at the moment. For the full story please visit this site.

For here I have included some shots of the modification.

Tsensor (at coldfinger) = 26.0°C uncooled or -1.8°C cooled at full power.
