- PeltierCooler DSI
Here's an image of my primary astrophotography camera, the Meade DSI Pro with the Peltier cooler modification. I am very satisfied with the cooler mod as it has reduced a lot of the noise I was experiencing with the DSI Pro. I'm also very satisfied with how sensitive the DSI Pro is. - Modified Webcam
The final product after putting the webcam in a kit box, attaching the telescope adaptor, and adding a small cpu fan for suppressing some of the thermal noise in the images. The battery pack is for powering the fan. - Logitech Pro 3000 Mod
