I received a Q453HR from CCD-Labs 
...and you can't believe the thunder storms we're having! 
So rather than shooting I'm, well, hitting up the Groups for advice on how my approach might differ from my prior experience with a monochrome camera (MX716).
I have drivers all installed on both Nebulosity (bundled with the camera, new software to me) and AstroArt3 (what I've been using for years with my last camera ). Would probably prefer AA3 since I'm used to it, but certainly don't mind trying out Nebulosity either.
I see the recommendation with Nebulosity is to shoot RAW, but don't see such options in AA3--maybe it's the default or maybe it doesn't matter. I do have the offsets for both set to give me around 300-400 min count on a bias frame.
Anyway, as you can see, I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice on shooting my first images with this camera. (Will be using my WO Zenithstar 66SD with 0.8 focal reducer.)
Thanks,
Larry
