Update: I quit stacking 200 frames to get one galaxy shot, now I shoot 20 minute subs and go to bed

I used to stay up till 3am taking 30 second frames by the hundred because that's what a guy at the Tucson club told me to do in 2019, but switching to a cooled camera and guiding means 20 minute subs at ISO 800 give me cleaner stacks with a third of the files, so has anyone else made that jump or am I just lazy now?
