Traveling along really nicely mate..

As for your comments earlier regarding taking lum at 1x1 and RGB at 2x2 with the QHY8... If you bin the QHY8 2x2, the resulting image is monochromatic, not RGB... It is unfortunate, as it would make a good camera fantastic... 2x2 colour binning is supported by some of the newer sony sensors, but not the ICX-453 in the QHY8. Your best bet is to capture as much data 1x1 as possible.. capturing a lot of 2x2 data might work for brightening the image, but it will not be a true luminance layer in that you would be getting your best resolution and detail from the 1x1 colour image, and the 2x2 monochrome lum would just be used to brighten up the image...
