I hadn't heard of this before, deep sky lucky imaging, very interesting indeed. On reading up, the recommended gain setting for a CMOS cam is 350-400 (low read noise). the well depth at 400 is then essentially 8 bit, 256 levels, I understand very short deep sky exposures will not need much dynamic range, but 8 bit ?(pre stretch), that's scary !.
Also, why, instead of manually selecting best subs out of 1000s isn't something like registax planetary software used that automatically grades and selects the sharpest bits of every sub instead of whole subs only.
If there is a reason this kind of application is not appropriate, Ive been testing an automatic way to have the sharpest subs graded (on DS subs, only sharpness nothing else, may not be sufficient) looking promising!.
