Camera cooling temperature doesn't go below -50 degrees of Celsius

[Skinakas Observatory]

Hello,

We are testing N.I.N.A. considering to use it as our main astrophotography software, but we see that it does not let us set the camera cooling temperature below -50C.

Is there any way to do so?

If not, could this be a future enhancement?

(We need to set it to -90C in our case)

Thanks a lot,

Hey,

currently the -50°C is an arbitrary restriction as there was no need to go below that value. It can certainly be changed to allow for even lower values in a future build.

I have prepared a change to allow entry of down to -200°C. This will be available for Version 3.1 once it is released.

Does it scale? I find it annoying that it goes down to -50 and up to +50!

[Stefan B]

yes i have adjusted that too, so it scales more dynamically. initially from -20 to 40 and then if a value exceeds that it will adjust the scale.

[Marc Blank]

Awesome!

Thank you very much! Much appreciated! We are looking forward for that!

in 3.1 nightly it is possible enter values down to -200°C. Additionally it is already possible in 3.0 to enter lower values via the sequencer cooling instructions.
