Integration Time Comparison:
I decided to actually do a direct comparison of integration times using that data. I tried to be as fair as possible using exactly the same processes and settings in on each image. For example, I took the black point as far right as I could before clipping the blacks and then applied exactly the same stretch to each set of data. What is shown is a 100% crop of some of the center detail. I have not done any fancy processing (no noise removal, deconvolution, etc.) I also saved with exactly the same settings for JPEG for each image.
Processing was:
Image Integration with Sigma Clipping
Dynamic Crop
Move blackpoint as far right as possible without clipping
Histogram Transformation
Save as JPEG.
Here are the results with more time last:
