The 8300 has a full well depth of around 25k so depending on your optical configuration, you'll need to adjust the exposure time accordingly. You should evaluate unbinned as opposed to 2x2. Also star saturation doesn't hurt too much, at least not as much as a NABG chip. Letting your pixels bleed for the sake of improved counts in the dim areas is a good thing providing the brighter stars don't bloat.

Hi Jason,
The photo I posted is just a single subframe. In fact, it is so far the only photo I've taken of M16 after a night of re-installing the barlow and running FocusMax V curves, etc. After I took the 2.5 min shot I thought to myself that it would take some sorting out deciding on the best subframe lengths. I thought I'd start with LRGB and then add Ha. It will be a project when the weather clears and will take a while I suspect.
Thanks foe your assistance.
Peter
