Hi,
btw, what is 'subs'?
Sometime they call a single exposure image from a series of single exposure images as a sub. Basically every single image of your 4x15s exposure image is a sub.

Have a nice day.

for me, i usually determine sub-exposure length in a trial and error manner. i will try different exposure lengths until the histogram peaks towards the right side. The histogram must not bunch on the extreme left or extreme right.
