I guess it's a combination of in the past wanting quick results waiting a short time for the first exposure), that about 50% the time there is no guide star so it's easier to just not rely on one ever, and that until this discussion (including some PM's from people) I haven't realised the significance of the read noise of the ST8 compared to the signal.

Better crack that whip and get me back to 600s+ exposures. I used to do 600s & 1200s with my LX200 classic for crying out loud.
You should notice better results.
