I always do 30 minute subs when I'm doing narrowband though.

If time is really tight for you then you could sacrifice some resolution and use binning to speed up acquisition of dimmer objects.
Ok, thanks.

Also, in terms of the data I have been reading, the new SONY chips seem to be more sensitive which might suit my limit of ideally only doing 5 mins subs (maybe 10 at best) at 4 mins per channel.

What CCD mono cameras are out there in the $2k to $2.5k mark using the SONY chips?

Thanks,
