ASI071MC-Cool Issues

tamirhussain

I bought a used ASI071MC-Cool camera. I had icing issues from day 1. I recharged the desiccant tablets but the problem persisted. I even tried cooling the camera at a slow and gradual pace but it still starts icing if the temp goes below -5 C. I have started using the camera at 0 C.

Now that I have the icing issue out of the way. I did a brief session a few days ago and notices a lot of amp glow at the bottom of the image. I am using an ASIair with my 071MC camera.

Here is a 8 second dark (stretched).

Is this a normal amount of glow?

Your help and feedback is greatly appreciated!

You can send the camera back to us if the icing problem is bothering you.

Yes it is a normal amp-glow.

Good to see a company that reacts so quickly to consumer requests! It looks like I'm sold, I'll see which cameras would be most appropriate for frequent trips.
