FWIW,
I ended up returning the Meade. Nothing but trouble. When it did work, images had streaking on them. The sensor window frosted up at -30C. On both nights I attempted to image with the DSI, late in the process something would screw up and all the images would have "prison bars" on them. After disconnection and re-connection, the camera sent me the same image over and over. After another attempt at restarting, I got nothing but empty images. I could go on, but you get the point. I had so forward looked to LRGB imaging. Oy.

Re: Meade DSI IV cooler crashes SharpCap
Sorry to hear that it didn't work out – hopefully you will find a different make of camera that works better for you.
Cheers, Robin
