I agree with Tony and Paul.
These days with the advent of DSLR's it's easier to do trial and error work.
I take my hat off to the guys who did such beautiful work on DSOs using film.
The reason I got back into astro is because DSLRs make it easier to check what you've just taken.
I'd recommend using ISO800 over the ISO1600 whenever possible.
ALWAYS shoot in RAW (and jpg at the same time if your camera allows this) because you can quickly see you jpg version when checking on the main computer.
1 to 2 min should give you a good indication on a starting point.
