Thanks Alex, I guess its the short exposures, 16bit, etc. When I was deciding on new camera options a 16bit adc + well depth were at the top of the list of selection criteria. In hindsight I probably should've used the extended full well mode because M42 is so bright.

Exactly what I thought too, and I'll still get an OSC (either ASI2600 or QHY268 now that I've used this one), but this setup came up for sale while I was waiting for most of the exact same items to get restocked in Australia. Couldn't really pass it up, plus so far it has been very easy to set up. I didn't bother with focusing on filter change, but I have an Esatto sitting on my desk waiting for one last adapter to become available again so I can automate that part too.
With software like NINA the sequencer can take care of all the filter changes and auto-focusing. The patience part probably still comes into it when you need to capture data over many nights before you can even start to stack and see if it worked out.
