Total electrons = number of subs x 1/2 full well (assume you're doing flats at around 30K ADU)
SNR = total e- / sqrt(total e-) = sqrt(total e-)
Somewhere around 250K e- is a good number but possibly impractical with shallow wells. It's 6 subs with my U16M and 252 subs with my ASI1600mm at a gain of 200!

The math on the flats is the same for your lights...so you need 250 odd subs for a decent S/N eh?
