Yes. First 6 images were guided by the toucam pro and captured by the hypermodded. The CMOS is directly cooled by a peltier to reduce thermal noises. The detail of the hypermod is on my website.

Wow.. this guy's Horsehead really blew me away: ปลานิล

The CMOS is cooled by a peltier and I sealed the camera in a white silicone case. So, Mr. ปลานิล calls it the mummy

Anat, the mod is darn cool (literally).

What if its done on a 5DMarkII, which is known for its high ISO with low noise. Although its going to be very expensive, cos the camera costs almost 4k, but the results should be very very good IMHO.

I saw the 'astro mummy' at work.

Is that the silicone casing or ice on the camera?

Of course, a homemade silicone case
