Dedicated CMOS newbie help

[Anthonyexmouth]

Well, finally put my hand in my pocket and bought the asi294 MC pro and had a clear night the very next day, world will probably end now. 

Anyway, bit of a learning curve coming from the Canon. When using live view in APT I got an ok view but even 60sec subs were very dark. Was set to unity gain in the driver. 

Is there a different workflow when using a dedicated camera compared to DSLR?

Also, sharpcap had no trouble with the cooling but APT kept falling.

Was there an option to change the black level when you set the gain?

There could also be an auto stretch option to enable on the histogram?

Gain is controlled by the driver. 

Even the stretched preview doesn't seem as exposed as my DSLR . I sold the canon so can't actually compare side by side. It may be fine and maybe I was expecting too much of a difference, the processed image is so much nicer than the canon though. For framing I've been binning the image for speed.
