I don't class an image as "Finished" until its hit 6hrs, even then I've been pushing to 9hrs recently, and as far as 22hrs on one image..
Yep after a certain amount of time you will not be getting any better pictures and that is where the line is.
The dimmer the object is the more exposures will do good

Thank you David, the QHY9 is a good buy, as all 8300 based camera's are.
Just wish i had the money to buy one a lot earlier.
