Cooling camera's

[Krakon]

Hi all, I have the ASI224mc and a ASI290mc camera's, would there be any benefit in cooling them when in use?

Not if you are using them for solar system imaging.

depends on what you want to image? I have both but 290c and the 224c I have is the altair hypercam version with fan cooling and not TEC cooling, the heatsink on the hypercam is described as mounted directly onto the back of the 224c sensor, but I had a look inside and the heatsink is just attached to the inner case near the sensor so a bit of a "fib". the 224c and 290 can be cooled ok with a peltier system but both cams have limits as to how long the exposure length can be used. tony

Thanks for the answers, I have a peltier cooling fan that was supplied with the camera which is the reason I asked the question.

Thanks again 👍
