The second image: zero gamma zero gain 100% brightness. 1/25th sec exposure @ 5FPS 600 frames captured/120 stacked.

Identical heavy waveletts used on both images. Identical processing in picture publisher (unsharp mask) Identical noise reduction/sharpening in neatimage.

6" refractor & toucam. Please ignore image quality, shot in terrible seeing conditions for test purposes only.

No further tests required.
Asi/Guys, it's just dawned on me from Asi's test (thanks Asi) that I'm generally running brightness a lot higher (~75%), and so I'm getting burn-out before I get sufficient gain/gamma to kill the onions.... hope I have the chance to try this out tonight. Might have to eat my words
