Hello Jen,
I've been using a QHY8L ccd for about 4 years.
What you are doing is correct and your file sizes are also correct.
The captured FITS files will look monochrome.
You will only see the colour after you have put your files through DSS which will debayer, align and stack them.
Make sure you have entered the correct bayer matrix pattern in DSS.
Do not use the drop down selection for QHY8. This refers to the older model.
For your QHY8L, use GENERIC GBRG.
Good luck.
Ross.
