Hi Andrew,
Still coming to terms with exposures and everything else with this camera. From metro Adelaide, when I had the 400D, I could not go past 8 minutes with the Hutech IDAS filter. With the QHY8L, I am at 8 minutes with no pollution filter, and has been mentioned, could go a bit further (I am also checking ADU etc to try and determine optimal exposure).
In terms of software, I am using EZYCAP to control the camera. This software is supplied by QHY. At first I found it a bit non-intuitive to use, but that could have been more my "hesitation" rather than the software. After using it a few times, I don't find it not too bad indeed.
In terms of processing, I am using Deep Sky Stacker and Photoshop.
All in all, for the money I paid, I think it is a pretty good little unit. In fact probably a bit cheaper than a cooled/modded DSLR.
