Re: Using a 775pro in Dusty Conditions
I think it would work, but it may not last long if dust stops the fan or impedes airflow. Motors will work if they're filled with dust, but they will probably run hotter. How fine is this dust? Maybe you could put a screen or filter over the 775's vents and just clean it every run. Is there anything electrically conductive in the dust?

True. I wonder what would happen if it stalled on the moon... Also, the temperature of the moon would help make up for the lack of cooling at night. In the day, not so much...
