So just a bit more info on this now whilst my camera is being shipped.

The creator of Firecapture, Torsten Edelmannhas, has been good enough to now release a version which allows up to 50 darks and flats to be taken and averaged and then subtracted on the fly whilst the camera is capturing images. In addition to being great for deep sky imaging, this will also be great for things such as capturing images of Uranus, Neptune and Methane Jupiter images.

One of the questions I have is, what would be the optimal number of dark frames to subtract from each deep sky image captured on the fly?

I don't envisage going past more than 30 seconds exposure for the faintest objects in order to try and do Lucky type imaging.

Lots of testing to do hopefully next week at LMDSS in Vic when the camera arrives.
