My Solution:Turn an uncooled camera into a cooled one Generic equipment discussions · Jochen Schambach · ... · 1 · 167 · 0

I think alot of people try this at some point.    I know I did when I was new.   You gain very little for the multitude of problems that come with it.   The Uranus C has a fan cooler option which is certainly needed on hot nights, but adding a TEC to a system like this turns them into dew factories.  Since these cameras are cooled with the case, the thermals get transferred up the camera case to whatever it's attached to, and begins to dew that up as well.  Pretty soon your corrector is dewed up, as well as the camera face, and they're all sweating.   Any hardware that can, WILL rust or corrode.    At one point I was putting dew straps on my correctors to counter this… but it didn't matter.  The system produced so much dew that it was impossible to counteract here in the hot southern summers.    It was only a week or two till I bought a real camera.

The best bet is to stick with a simple heatsink and fan combo.   You should pay attention to the quality of these fans as well, they can induce undesirable vibrations if poorly balanced or bad bearings.

Beyond that, the 585 is pretty stable as long as the chip temp stays under 25C.     Once it hits 30C you start to see amp glow.    No, that wasn't a typo.  The 585 does in fact have amp glow.   I didn't test my Uranus C at the time, but the ZWO 585 certainly did it, and I validated it against another ZWO camera.
