Trying to actually track down all of the actual gain figures takes far too long so I am doing the straight calculation as (well depth)/65535. With my QHY9 I got my gain setting to the point where full saturation (ADU) happens when the well fills so it is actually at 0.389. I have been using e-/ADU as the conversion so the 16803 is the only one in that list that has above 1e-/ADU.

My subs were 15 minutes long but from that I could calculate that they wouldn't be sky limited until I hit 90 minutes (as an average of the night).
