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.

I found that when Maxim DL was used -
You first of all must close EZYcap -
you go to:
camera control window, expose, options , camera settings &
there you can set gain & offset but -
the gain is in percentage (offset the same as above).
The help file in MaximDL does not explain how to convert the RAW number into a percentage.
Maybe CCD commander is converting to the raw EZYcap settings for your QHY9 camera?
Isn't it better to dither every sub-frame?
That's what I used to do with a DSLR camera.
Forgive me if I sound silly but I only bought a
QHY9 a week ago & I've never used a mono camera before.
I am just trying to sort out all this stuff on my kitchen table.
