Rebuilt Nikon D5100cam

[Herra Kuulapaa]

Hi Guys,

Based on experience during last couple of years I rebuilt the cooling in one of my cameras; D5100cam (Cooled astromono). Previously it had all the controls attached into the camera, but I have noticed it's better top have controls further away so I don't need to touch the actual camera and cause any shakes operating it.

Main purpose of the camera is to serve as high performance cost effective transition between regular DSRs and cooled astrocameras.

Direct TEC cooled mono DSLR with PWM adjustment and true sensor temperature measurement:

 

And how does it work? Here is a dark frame noise analysis chart with sensor temperature in Celsius and noise measured with Pixinsight noise analysis tool:
