That would seem to be the general consensus from those who've replied, I did a stretch on my darks and couldn't see anything out of the ordinary, so summer will be 20 and I might drop it when it cools, and do the dark library like jase every 3 months or so.

keep in mind that groupthink is often wrongthink: witness "The earth is flat" belief from yesteryear.

the only way to know for sure is to measure the dark signal under the planned exposure conditions (exposure time and temperature) and compare to the read noise and background signal levels.... that of course is neglecting RBI
