Well not exactly. What Jon Rista and some others are doing is experimenting with high gain settings for narrowband in order to produce 'fast narrowband' subs in usually light polluted areas, where people don't have time to use setting that would build deeper images; or where short subs are easier to acquire and do not require guiding in some well aligned cases. Shooting at Gain 200 is going to cost you depth, the well depth is no where near what it is at Gain 75. However, it does give you passable images fairly quickly, and were talking about 90 sec subs for narrowband, which is unheard of with other cameras. This is not something to try with broadband, LRGB.
And it is not recommended for the OSC versions unless they are shooting through narrowband filters.
