I was thinking about that. The longest exposure I've done with DSLR Shutter was 60 seconds, and that would have fitted within the timeout period Nebulosity 2 waits for the download, so would have worked with ICNR. Do you use it with exposure times longer than two minutes?

Thanks... I wasn't aware of that yahoo group, that might be very useful! I'm still struggling with it saving files as FITS so I might ask some questions there about that. (Deep Sky Stacker seems to open the FITS OK but photoshop interprets them as greyscale, and I can't get Nebulosity to save the RGB FITS as separate files).
Anyway.. as for the ICNR issue... I have emailed Craig and just received his reply. Very much as you said, he believes it's best to not use ICNR. Oh well, while I disagree in some circumstances, I am happy to reside myself to being limited to not using INCR and instead a batch of dark frames. It just makes processing out the amp glow a lot harder.
Thanks,
Roger.
