QHY10 CCD Gain and Offset

A funny thing happened on the way to the ...

I decided that I ought to redo the steps for determining the right Gain/Offset settings fr this new CCD.

In the past, I have owned several QHY8s and Gain was always 0 or 1. But in going through the recommended steps to determine the Gain setting, I found that I had to set the Gain surprisingly high in order to get the sensor to an average saturation level of 65K on a 60second sub using a light box. It ended up at Gain/Offset of 11/124.

I was wondering what other QHY10 users have found with their units.
