Actually this is where it gets a little more interesting...the “traditional” long exposure paradigm = software gets in the way here, as it doesn’t make any sense to take millisecond exposures with conventional software, working through an ASCOM driver which takes an exposure, downloads, then gives the OK signal for the software to initiate the next sub.
These devilish CMOS sensors come equipped with video capabilities, since many of them were designed for use in security cameras and driver aids in cars requiring a constant video stream.
So using the appropriate tool such as SharpCap you capture the entire video stream, no shutter involved...
