Yes Troy 16 bit binx2 usually as a ser file in sharpcap or firecapture but I use Registax and Photoshop to process, I have not tried Autostakkert. With globulars I can collect 2000 frames and stack the 500 sharpest in RegX. You can used fits if you prefer.
Your 10" and 120 would be great for bright nebula like m42, swan, triffid, PN's like saturn neb, ghost of Jup, and any bright globular like omega cent, m4, m22, m55, 104. Galaxies are difficult but sombrero has the highest surface brightest and worth a look, but with colour 120 it may be too faint?
You can use native fl+ coma corrector or just 2xpowermate with bin or full resolution to suit seeing+brightness. Images are quickly taken in an hour with short subs and no breeze.
