Thanks John,
Most folk advise to push longer subs in the order of 5 to 10 minutes or longer but I disagree in relation to the 2600MM camera , very faint targets under B8 skies or with smaller shorter focal length scopes. Maybe for larger brighter targets but not dim targets, you’re always fighting with the noise floor.
The sweet spot for my rig using the Antlia 3nm filters is 3 min
