MONO: Equal subs or not?

Hey All,

I've been imaging with a one-shot color (OSC) camera for over three years now, with good success. Recently, though, I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of mono imaging.

I have a basic understanding of how mono imaging works, but I’d really appreciate some clarification from those of you who have more experience with it.

1. I understand that my sub-exposures for each color channel (R, G, and B) should be the same—say, 180 seconds each. But what about Luminance? Should the Luminance subs also be the same exposure length as the RGB subs?

2. When stacking, should I aim to have roughly the same number of subs for each RGB channel? And for Luminance—should I try to match the number of subs there as well, or is it okay to have more or fewer?

Thank you for helping me out.
Wayne
