I am sure some of the more knowledgeable QHY9 owners will pipe up, but for now, if you have been imaging already with a DSLR then Q9 will be similar in that you will need some form of guiding, and some form of capture program. Given the previous camera the need for a field flattener will have already existed so I assume you have this.
Additionally, if you have already been stacking and calibrating with some form of processing software then carry on using this.
Biggest thing you will need is patience and the ability to learn new skills. Oh and time to image, as instead of one shot giving you a pretty picture, the Q9 needs three or four, depending on LRGB or RGB. Having said that though it IS more sensitive (or should be) so it kind of evens itself out.
Whatever you do, have fun, and don't be afraid to ask questions, I am sure you will have many.
