Ummm, Maxim running QHY9 using ASCOM drivers, which in turn call the underly QHY driver I believe. 100/10 is what I have set for the unbinned section in the QHY drivers, if that makes sense?

Happy to PM some settings if that helps?

Dithering is extremely helpful, however you do lose time on each sub waiting for guiding to reacquire and stabilise. Its a worthwhile tradeoff for the reduction in noise and artefacts most would argue. I actually run Maxim via CCD Commander, and have CCDC set to only dither every 4th frame (so I dither just before the start of every LRGB sequence for example). Setting up image runs in Maxim always frustrated me, and CCDC will do auto-meridian flips and unattended imaging among other things as a bonus. Very powerful software at a decent price.
