Whereas (I believe) QHY allows you to set a value for all 3 colour parameters, which can be varied between 1 and 127 with a midpoint of 64. This is just my best guess, based on what I've seen on CN.
So, assuming that the ASI462MC's values are Wred=69 and Wblue=86 with the Wgreen offset of 0, then the QHY462 values might be
Wred = 88
Wgreen = 64
Wblue = 110
Torsten replied to this assumption of mine here

Hope this helps, unfortunately I cannot help with your Linux issues though ... |
Hi Andrew. The camera is working somewhat and it has sliders that go up to 255 for all three colours. My issue are clearly timing overruns due to a broken SDK they distribute with linux for what it's worth - the QHY dev himself said he'd look into it. As for the green offset when there is no real green control for ZWO cameras, I found that a risky thing to use - the reason is it offsets what it's getting but can't prevent clipping. So if you set it to say -30 you could easily be clipping but it only showing 70 maximum value - I've seen the huge spike at the right end of the green histogram when you do that. Positive offset is okay but I found that's rarely required with green in particular. I'm hoping the true fine grained control of each colour in the QHY camera comes in useful.
