Environmental limits

doug@dallington

Please can anyone tell me the environmental limits (max/min temperature and humidity) that the ASI174MM can be exposed to? I can't find this information in the user guide.

I have an observatory where the temperature is uncontrolled (UK weather -10 to +30 deg C, but the mount, scope and accessories are covered in a humidity-controlled enclosure).

Until now I have been removing my camera when not in use and storing it in a warm room, but I was wondering if it would be OK to leave it on the scope in this temperature range or if this would damage it.

Thanks,

Doug

we suggest the lowest temperature should be -5 degree

-10 degree it may not work

Thank you, that's very helpful.

What is the maximum temperature? The temperature in my observatory can exceed 36 deg C.

Kind regards,

Doug

I think 36 should be ok

Thanks Sam,

It has got above 36 deg C on occasions, but now I'm going to line the observatory walls and roof with foil bubble-wrap insulation to try and restrict the max temperature inside.

Kind regards,
