Ten minutes and despite that, with CMOS, fixed pattern noise eventually dominates over extremely low signal noise (read noise is moot here)
As far as I can tell, there is no fix.
CCD's for very low flux targets would be my tool of choice.
I still have a perfectly good KAF16803 CCD based camera....and suspect for those wanting go uber-deep, these sensors will become very desirable and rare birds for those who want to push the envelope.
I'm hopeful CMOS sensors will have all of their advantages and none of their disadvantages in time.
Just not quite there yet.
