So I got my hands on this camera a few years ago but finding information on it has been impossible and emails to QHY have gone unanswered. I've seen one old post on CN that says unity gain is around 2800 but that's all I've been able to find, so I'm not sure if that's accurate, it does produce usable results albeit they are noticeably more noisy than my uncooled Nikon D850 images are. I'm also not sure what would be considered a standard low or high gain setting for it would be like how ZWO has those settings preset for its cameras in its software. I also don't have a clue as to how I'd go about experimenting on finding those settings and even if I did I don't have the time, I work over 120 hours a week and on top of it due to being in the subtropics I've only had 4 clear nights in the past year to image and 3 of those were spent fighting a mount gremlins. If anyone could give me some pointers on using this camera I'd greatly appreciate it.

Nineball,


all the information and gain graphs can be found online:

https://www.qhyccd.com/astronomical-camera-qhy367/

There seems to be no high/low gain setting for this camera, only one mode available.

Hi!
I‘m using this cam about 3 years.
On the Rasa11“ (f2.2) i take gain 1, on C11 (f7/f10) i take 150-200 about.
An also importatnt setting is the offset. Normaly the offset changes with the gain, but at my 367c the best offset ist 25 for all gains.
So you can try to take a gain between 50 and 200 and set the offset to 25. It should work.
Good luck & clear skies
Mario

What is offset? I understand gain is somewhat analogous to ISO but I dont understand what offset does
