Even though I thought I was being pedantic storing my whole camera in a bag with dessicants, there was no doubt moisture in there from the month or two I ran it without a nosepiece as you say. Theo believes always a good idea to have dessicant inside the camera. I should probably get around to setting up the screw-on chamber for mine too. Must go looking.
So even though the qhy9 is a double sealed system it can still get corrosion from entrapped moisture around the ccd while stored in the presence of a desiccant. Hmmm,m must pay even more close attention to this than in the past
