We have rain here in Calif, and Alan's weather in Oregon doesn't sound any
better.
Isn't anybody having decent weather?!!

The way I look at it-- the rate of change in temperature on the CCD must be
greater when actively being pulled down from ambient
by a Peltier device compared with the rate of change when passively drifting
back up.  Still it might not be a good idea to drag the CCD into a 70 degree
house from your snow laden back yard as soon as you're done imaging or guiding.
