Re: [APML] 2 More ST-4 questions

["Chris Cook" <ccjd@ix.netcom.com>]

At the end of a nights shooting (4-8hrs), I don't immediately power down the
ST-4.  Its usually on for about 5-10 minutes after I finish with the last
exposure, during which I start covering up the scope, cameras etc.... I
never intended it or thought of it as a thermal shutdown.
Let us know what SBIG says.
