Jase...I've often thought this....and have come to the conclusion data sets need doubling before you see, not so much a noise improvement, but a marked S/N improvement. i.e 2:4:8:16:32:64 hours of exposure.

It would be interesting to see a more rigourous analysis.

A bit moot as right now I'd settle for imaging with any camera....and no more STX delays.....sigh...
