Doing a dark run with Qhy-9

Hi,

In anticipation that the weather will clear in SE Queensland sometime in the next decade I am going to start my dark library.

I am going to sit the camera by itself, with the cap on, and start shooting not attached to the scope. I am going to set the camera to
-20 but my question is do I need to set the gain and offset levels when taking darks?

Ultimately will be shooting through a W/O Flt 110 and I see that people have there gain set between 12 and 15 and offset between 100 and 115. Would those numbers be fine or do I have to somehow sort out numbers based on my scope.

Thanks

Mark
