Brett,

Brad Moore wrote "Dark Frame Manager" - it sold for $20 and is by far the easiest method to create (and manage) a complete Darks library.

You give it the list of all the exposure times and all the temperatures you want on your SBIG camera (I think it does others but never needed that) and it just goes away and takes all the 1000's of darks you need
Specify 20 or 25 darks per Master Dark you want in each temperature & exposure time you might ever need and then generate master darks.

A good library can take days to complete - in your absence and completely automatically.
If you are doing 30 or 60 minute narrowband subs then 25 x 60 minute subs for say 4 or 5 different temperatures is a lot of tiime if you have to babysit.

Do it again in 6-12 months without being afraid of all the time and effort !

He used to have a website - not sure how you get it now, but Im sure you can contact him directly.

Cheers
Rally
