when broadcasting on NSN the other night I noticed that I had not initiated the amp glow mask in Miloslick. Additionally, there were very few hot pixels and no warm pixels. At the exposure times I was using, up to 3 minutes, all of these things should be quite evident. The camera does not have a class 0 chip either. Conclusion: very cold weather. It was -14 C at the start of the broadcast and later, likely much colder as ice fog had begun to develop. The observatory exterior thermometer's batteries had died, likely from freezing to death. I was nice and warm in the "warm" room attached to the observatory, one of the benefits of astrovideo. Most on this board won't be able to replicate these conditions unless you move to western Canada. Some technical details: cooling was on full, C14 @ ~F4, IDAS LPS, AP 1200 mount, AGC 3. An intriguing effect but I don't know if there is a theoretical basis for this. Electrons move faster in colder temps, otherwise open to postulates.....Dwight
