Somewhere back in the mists of time, an astrophotographer (E.S. King - 1912, Hoag - 1960) noticed that certain types of film seemed to perform better during winter months than they did during the summer months. In simple terms, it took longer to expose to a set density level when the ambient temperature was warm than when it was cold. Not only did cold film hold it’s speed better, the colours were more accurate. This simple observation spawned a new tool for astrophotgraphy - the cold camera.
