That sounds like a good idea.
You could sign up for dropbox, makes it easy to share those big files.
If you sign up with this link, you get an extra 250MB of space, and so do I.

It is free and you get 2GB as standard, and is very easy to use, you put the files into the shared folder and they automatically synch, and you can send the link to anyone. It is how I have been sharing the planetary captures in the beginners section.

I'm really keen to see how it compares.

You may have to take the front off and clean the sensor glass directly.

From the poorly written manual

QHY8 is designed to allow user clean the CCD sensor in easy way. QHY8 has a IR or AR optic windows. Please unscrew it . Then you can clean the CCD surface. The QHY8 CCD surface has no coating. It is very easy to clean. You can use the alcohols and lens paper. Clean the CCD carefully. After cleaning CCD. Please wait all liquid dry. Screw on the optic windows and dry the camera according the method in above description.
Of course it is a difficult thing to get zero dust. For small dust we suggest use flat field calibration to remove it.
