Took this image two nights ago after playing with some software, the mount, and then at 1:30am decided to image in Ha.
This is taken with the Modified Aquarium Chiller hooked up, no secondary cooler running. Ambient temp was 61 humidity 89 %
After 50 min settled down to -25 for the images. 90% cooling. Use to be lucky if I got to -10 in this temp last year. Since I would not run it over 90% for fear of a the ambient temp changing briefly going higher and making the image warmer.

This was taken with MaximV4 and dithering used, and seperate guider. Still learning this software as anyone who has it more than likely is too
