Your advice is to use Gain -neutral-, guess in Firecapture that means slider all the way to the left ?
With Firecapture the neutral point for the ZWO 174 camera is 50 on the gain.

Hi,

think you are mixig gain and gamma here. For the ZWO cameras the neutral (or linear) gamma (not the gain) is 50. Can also be set in Firecacture by setting Gamma to off.

Hi,

In my last picture (see settings used under picture) my Gamma was at 50, so seems I found the neutral setting for that one.
Since lower than 30 on Gain gives me almost black screen, I finally worked with 42 as setting, relatively close to 50 as _Zakalwe mentioning..

The seeing condition is influencing a lot on settings I learned over the weekend...

Hans.
