How to get Nice Star colours under LP?

Hi folks,

I'm interested in people's methods for rendering accurate RGB star colours when shooting LRGB under LP.
(Mono cameras, not DSLRs or One shot cameras with a bayer matrix).

I'm currently shooting 15x1 min subs per colour, and while the star colours look ok when processed, I don't think it's deep/long enough exposure time to record enough stars.

I'm thinking I either need to go to 30x 2 min or 60x 1min subs.

I have an IDAS LP filter, but I no longer use it as it messes with the star colours!

I'm using a QSI683 wsg8 camera, and scopes with 70mm, 110mm & 200mm aperture.

My skies are class 6 bortle Mag 19.03 (according to the "Clear Outside" app)

Thoughts?

Cheers

Andy
