Ahhhh, focus! That may explain it.

QHY products are great but they need to work on their instruction manuals!

Hook up the camera and point it at the moon, Sirius or M42 by hand and see if you have a focused image on your laptop, if not then turn the lens until you do. Without doing this you will end up with just some hot pixels showing up but chance of finding the asterism......

Once you have it focused put it back on your mount.....
