A couple of nice shots there Steve.
360 seconds is kind of short for one shot colour though.
I talked with Alan Homes of SBIG one time as I had a one shot STL11.
His advice was to take the longest subexposure time you could like 20-30minutes to get the best results.
I think this is because the Bayer matrix causes the chip to lose a fair bit of QE (sensitivity) and also because it reduces the colour noise.
I think the best strategy is to max out the cooling - don't worry if its an odd number, use adaptive darks (in CCDstack you can select different ways of scaling your darks - I found it works really well). And to go for the longest subs you can with your tracking.
Greg.
