The gain on your camera should be set so that full well is around 65K ADU, so somewhere around the low 30Ks ADU is usually a reasonable target. If you want to be conservative you could go for mid 20Ks.

Cheers,
Rick.

I usually aim for an average ADU of 30-35k with my QHY22 (same sensor) and have found that works perfectly fine.
