What are your recommendations for Gamma settings?
Thanks for the info.

Cool you have same size scope as me. You would remove the IR cut filter and replace it with a IR 742 pass filter which dims the live image somewhat but produces a much sharper image in poor seeing. Normally people use them with mono cams but I was impressed how well it worked with my colour QHY cam. Obviously you get a weird coloured image which looks better in greyscale but on bad nights at least you have a sharp image. You can combine the IR pass image with a colour shot in winjupos though the resulting image is not as natural looking as a colour shot in good seeing.
I don't touch gamma just leave it on the default setting.
So the new version of EZ planetary does not split the avis? As you say its a pain dealing with part 0, 1,2 etc.
Firecapture will work with the QHY cams but you do need a laptop with a good spec.
