I loved the physical format of the old QHY8 as the QHY10 looks like an expensive Coke can on the back of the scope and really may tax some focusers, but its bigger chip, pixel size etc win in my opinion. As soon as I sold the old QHY8 I knew I wanted another OSC especially here in the suburbs. actually I was amazed that the 5" covered the chip so well as flats show NO vignetting what so ever. And it doesn't need darks. But you need a good bias due to the downloading characteristics of the chip as red/green are downloaded one side while blue is done the other side and it will give a colour gradient if not processed out.
