Here’s what a member on the APT forum mentioned to me in regard to gain on the 2600MC

“The 2600MC has no Unity gain due to its 16bit ADC. The most used setting for gain is 0 (max dynamic range due to best use of full well capacity) and 100 for low read noise , refer to ZWO specs.
When shooting under dark skies go for a longer exposure and use gain 0.
In suburban skies shoot shorter exposures and use gain 100 to reduce read noise
Your thoughts on the above comments would be appreciated
