Now connect up the power supply and switch it on. The supply is a very efficient
‘switch mode’ unit, which can operate from either 110v or 220v AC, via an
appropriate mains power cable (supplied). You can now start the software by double
clicking on the Starlight Vision icon, when you should see the main menu and image
panel appear.
As can be seen above, there is a CCD temperature monitoring window at the top
right hand side of the panel. I recommend using the set point to about -10C for
general imaging, but you can go much colder - especially if you are imaging during

capability, and you should use a set point of no lower than -10C for stable cooling.
You can determine the optimum settings for your camera and ambient conditions
when you have some experience of using the system, but do not try to operate at
extreme cooling when the air temperature is high. The external fan is helpful and is
connected by using the 'Y' lead provided in the camera component set, as below:
