I've had a gut full of my QHY9 and the dark streaks next to bright stars. The camera I am using is about 8 months old and it is doing it as well as the last one. I am in discussion with someone who may be able to fix it, if so, well and good.
The real crux of my thoughts are if I decide to purchase a new camera, and I go down the CMOS route which seems to be a popular choice, do I really need a 16 bit camera or will 12 or 14 bit suffice? If computers can only display at 8 bits(if I have that right), then your dynamic range is compressed already, is it not?
Any insight would be helpful. I tried to read up about bit depth and I think I get it.
Stay safe.
