Before thinking of selling the QHY5 I wanted to get some ideas on what I can use the camera for?
Any ideas??

Hi Stefan,
You could turn it into a microscope. Use an old 35 - 50 mm camera lens and a piece of tube to join them about 50 mm long. Then attach it to a stand of some kind where it can be moved up and down to focus. Experiment with the length of the tube to get different magnifications.
I have made 2 of these, one with a Sony surveillance camera and the other with an imagesource camera.
One of the things I use it for is looking at the writing on small electronic chips etc.
Also came in handy when the misses got a very small cactus spine in her foot
You can add a light source of any type you like.
Cheers,
Damien
