I seem to have found a solution which worked well today , reduce star detection by half and the whole job stacked in 45mins which is normal
Just processing the image this afternoon (NGC 253 Sculptor Galaxy) so you will be able to see when I post the image later on what’s capable from only a 6” f6 Bintel newt and these latest unbelievable ZWO OSC cameras ( bearing in mind I’m imaging under Bortle 7/8 Sydney skies with 2 storey houses either side of me lit up like Las Vegas ) not exactly ideal conditions for Astrophotography
Thanks

Thanks Martin, I am quite excited to see the result. I am still strongly hesitating between the Bintel f/5 and f/6 despite extensive research. I hear coma disappears almost completely with an f/6 meaning I won't need a coma corrector.
The only thing that concerns me is that the Bintel website bags its own f/6 OTA stating "It is still suitable for lunar and planetary imaging but not for imaging using larger sensors". ("Larger sensors"??). The slightly slower speed really doesn't bother me, as long as the optics are good. Looking forward to seeing your latest image.
Cheers,
Stéphane
