Hi.
I am testing the cooling on my new ASI, and I'm wondering of what the lowest temp possible is.
From the ZWO site you have that the camera can be cooled 40 - 45 deg below ambient. This seams right as I (indoors) cooled it from ~22 deg to around -22.
The ZWO site says it has a operating temperature of -5 -> -45, but then it says the lowest temperature that can be set is -30
Does this mean that it can not get colder than -30 ? I tried setting the temp to -40 in indi control panel, and it did accept it but I'm not sure it will keep cooling below -30?
If the camera was installed and I would be imaging tonight the ambient temperature would be 0 deg, and thats a worm night for the season, so I will rarely have a issue in imaging around -40 if the camera allows it. Not sure if the -30 limit is in the ascom driver or in the on camera fw?
/Edit typo in the subject. Should be CMOS cooling, but I guess the cooling part is the same for both. Cooler is better.
