QHY9 mono specs

Hi guys, starting to ask a couple of questions as I just got a QHY9 mono.

1_ I understand the CCD chamber is sealed so does that mean the camera can be run without a glass nosepiece.

2_ I read here that the distance between the CCD surface and the M42 thread is 15mm. I measured 6mm from the camera face to the sealed chanber glass. So this means the CCD is only 9mm below that window? So 15mm all up? Or is it 15mm from the chamber glass?

3_ The QHY8 distance from CCD to camera face is 6mm. If the AHY9 is now 15mm can I still use the QHY8 adaptor on the Hyperstar for the C11. Any of you guys image with a QHY9 with an hyperstar 3? Did you get another custom adaptor.

That's all for now. Thanks for any pointers.
