Hi Les,
I am in the same boat. QHY8 on a dedicated laptop in the obs, CCD on the back of my C8 via a Meade microfocuser then 6.3FR. All focuses OK and Neb 2.6.2 connects via ASCOM driver to QHY8.
So far the only answer I've found to the "eternal download" syndrome is to disconnect Neb and restart it. Seems like a clunky operation. I tried using EZCAP v19 but it often gives divide by zero errors, so I gave up on it.
Haven't been able to get CCDCAP to recognise the QHY8 at all, so Neb is the only one so far, and it does just like you say.
BTW, I found 48-50% gain and 114-117 offset seem to be about the ballpark for my QHY8. At least I could see M42 tonight with those settings on a 1-5 min preview shot. (I Forget the actual time).
I'll keep you informed if I have any breakthroughs.
Cheers,
