I noticed that the camera noise looked low like the old camera this morning, I had left the camera heater off since Friday. The noise increased after startup and seemed to peak. Then I turned on the camera heater and the noise went up a little more. After that seemed to peak I turned off the camera heater and observed the noise fall a little. I took pictures of the O-scope display of the camera analog output throughout all. Will leave camera heater on when I leave to continue testing Tuesday. ___end___ Sun Mar 29 22:42:11 GMT 2009 MkIV
