Make the effort. RTFM. It will be worth it.

The ST402 will happily go 5 minutes or so with the Jewel Box before the camera saturates.

Apart from focus and tracking, the data is there. You just need to tease it out. Try gamma scaling or DDP each R, G and B exposure so the stars look, well, like stars, rather than featureless blobs. Then combine the RG&B data.
