Great camera i thoroughly recommend it, very easy to use and very low noise, some simple points below i learned in the first few months of using it.
Gain of 90 works well for exposures of 2 or 3 mins or more, if very short exposures are used the gain can be increased to give good results.
Depending on image scale needed 1x1 or 2x2 binning works well.
Cooling to 0 degrees works very well,
If cooling below 0 degrees take it down slowly from 0 to -15 or more slowly over 5mins or so as ice crystals can form if cooling is too rapid.
The inbuilt dew remover heater works well while cooling the camera however if moisture inside the camera proves a problem the decicant tabs inside the camera can be easily removed and recharged in a microwave by following the ZWO instructions and replacement ones are easily available.
Great camera, have fun.
Wayne.
