I'd love to be able to use darks instead of ICNR but the results have always been better with ICNR, for me.

Ahh ok, unfortunately I may have to take them while imaging, the ambient temp usually falls steadily here in Canberra during the night. Especially during winter /freeze

I use around 15 sec rest between shots, to allow the sensor to cool a little and let everything settle, but it adds up in the end, I may cut the rest time back a little.
Also are you using Mirror Lock up?
This helps too.

Yep, I'm using Mirror Lock up. I currently have the rest time between shots set in IP at 10 sec. Thanks for all the info, depending on how the temp is on the night I will take them at the end or during the run.
