Temperature Reporting issue

jonesdee

I use my ASI 1600 MM Pro with APT for image capture. I use the Cooling aid to lower the sensor temperature to -10*C, which typically takes 8 - 10 minutes to achieve. I have noticed that if I close and restart APT after running at -10*C for a period of time, the sensor temperature shows the ambient temperature (15 - 20*C) immediately on restart.

I tried cooling the sensor in APT, closing the program and opening ASICAP, which also showed ambient temperature just a few seconds after the sensor apparently being at -10*C.

I am using the latest ASCOM driver - is this normal behavior?

Well, I think it is normal, the sensor will warm up quickly if close cooler.

Hi Sean

Thank you for your prompt reply!

I will continue enjoying the camera and stop worrying about this :)
