yes .. yes, the one you had used, but is it better for me to remove the back cover for the LCD display for better air flow? i scared that the LCD may not light up properly if the ribbon cable not inserted back properly ..

actually you can just put the whole cam into the box without any mod. Its cool enough for the images to be noise free. :P

(just estimate or average figure also can), thanks. n.b. i am keen to know this because i had just received a Christmas present from our Sifu, the COOL BOX for Canon EOS on 24 Dec 2012, - eager to try it out in Malaysia for M45
Need not be Sedili.
Mersing or Pungai also have dark sky.

Firstly must be moonless night then away from city.
I think the sensor temperature run up to 32 deg C.

Kevin,

Don't say like that.
But thank you for thinking otherwise.
I was lucky that I can capture 15 min of good sky condition exposure.
But must stress it is not 15 min continuous.

AP need patient, I only image when there is a clear sky gap.
So what would think if I say whole night I only got this photo?
So most part of the night I just feed the mosquito.

Those who imaging first time is too anxious so simply shoot without consideration to the sky condition.
Once the poor sky condition get bad even for few seconds, it spoil the entire frame.
I make same mistake.

Silly Yun,

Thanks. Glad you like it the photo.
Sky has been very bad recently.
