So my takeaway from this is:
* I'll need a lot more subs to compare to the deep single subs (ignoring the extreme 1sec comparison being used for the match, but more realistic exposure durations)
* I'll need to be able to process a lot of subs (I am getting used to it already)
* I won't be as concerned about losing an hour sub versus a 10 or 5 min sub
* And I need to pick appropriate targets for my system and location and not expect Hubble deep field imaging from an inexpensive setup (that cost probably much less than 10-20% of the system that can do 1 hour subs).
Seems reasonable to me.
Q: Although truly extreme, would it be possible to process those 36000 x 1 sec subs? Could they be grouped into batches of say 100, integrated, then those results integrated, etc until down to the final single integrated result?
