No need to say how hard it is to image in the city with a OSC but you always get a great result. You have discovered that processing is a completely different science to mono. But it can give one a result that normally wouldn't have . I found I run at -5 to keep consistency with warm nights as the cooler isn't like the dearer cameras. Would be interested to find out how you did your flats?
I find that the light pollution fluctuates and each image is different. The noise that you end up getting in the light frames can be problematic especially if it is smoke or dust .
But as your testing has shown there is life and hope. Software has always been an issue. I can think that those who would use the camera would probably purchase APT to aid in capture. Third party and cheap as to run. As for the USB 3, if it's deepsky then a self powered usb2 cable will do the trick, but with usb3 planetary work you're stuffed. There is no fix for that I have found, and I have bought most things to make it work. I end up moving laptop within range of the primary USB cable. Not pretty but functional..
But it is gratifying to see real reviews.
