Dew Issues with ASI 1600MC- Cooled?

jayta98

Hi everyone, I got a gen1 ASI1600MC- cooled. It arrives Tuesday. I have been advised that gen 1's suffer from dew condensation. Is this true? If it is, Is there a solution for this issue? I live in FL and it gets humid at night depending on the season is higher than others.

I will hate to have to deal with this issue and furthermore having to resell the camera. :(

Any input is appreciate it. Thanks. Jay.

Dear Sam,

Hi - I have the same issue - will this be available for all people with this camera, or will it only be built into new cameras?

Thank you,

Colin

That is the solution Sam was talking about.

Thanks, Daniel - I'd missed that!

I have a spare 2" eyepiece dewband - I'll try that first.

Thank you,

Colin
