Dropping the gain from 139 to 50 is just shy of 9dB, so you'd want to increase the exposure length by about 3x to get roughly the same pixel values.

Experimentation is key...my strategy is to expose long enough to get good signal in the object of interest, but not blow out the stars...although there's not always a balance point.
