I've finally pulled the trigger on a new QHY Mini Cam 8 and I'm really excited to see what she can do. 

Currently using the ASI 1600MM Pro with a set of 6nm Astronomik filters, but I'm looking forward to the massively increased well depth, back illuminated sensor, and the incredibly low read noise that the IMX585 sensor has to offer. Not to mention how compact the unit is!

Anyone else have any experience with the new QHY Mini Cam 8? I'm always open to tips, tricks, pointers, and other comments when it comes to gear.
