ATIK 383L+ Mono CCD - Icing up
« on: May 01, 2013, 07:52:21 PM »
Hi All

I'm new to the ATIK forums.

I have recently purchased an ATIK 383L+ Mono CCD, and have built up my dark library quite well, however I went to do my flats this evening and I noticed that there is Ice forming somewhere near the sensor, I can see the lovely "Fractal" style areas all around the outside edges of the image.

I would not have expected this from a brand new camera, has anyone else experienced this?

Hi Simon,

Unfortunately, yes.  See this thread.

Fill the cam with argon.
