For Stargazing mode, Seestar currently uses Gain=80, which triggers HCG mode that reduces read noise while preserving dynamic range. Using a Gain of 80 is desirable if you plan to post-process your subexposures. Seestar also currently limits exposures to 10 seconds.
However, for those of us who do not want to post-process our images, the Seestar is not yet optimized for EAA use. Gain 80 is too low to get good live stacking results in a short period of time on all but the brightest deep sky targets. Also, 10 second exposures result in very dim images for all but the brightest targets unless considerable time is spent (60-90 minutes of stacking).
With my other ASI cameras, I have typically used the Gain value for "Lowest Read Noise" for EAA imaging. For the 462 sensor, the Lowest Read Noise gain setting appears to be 350 from looking at [https://astronomy-imaging-camera.com/product/asi462mccolor/](https://)
By using the higher gain value, resulting images will have less noise and a higher signal-to-noise ratio. ZWO's own testing has shown this to be the case: [https://astronomy-imaging-camera.com/tutorials/cooled-asi-camera-setting-in-ascom-driver/](https://). Yes, some dynamic range is sacrificed, but users have the option to use the Gain=80 setting to preserve dynamic range if that is their preference.
In summary, please add options for using the "lowest read noise" gain setting as well as options for longer exposures (perhaps 20 sec and 30 sec) that don't exceed Seestar's ability to accurately track. Seestar would need to automatically create a new master dark that uses the optional gain and exposure settings as part of starting the enhancement process. Making these two changes alone will greatly increase Seestar's use for EAA. Thanks.
