looking forward to some images David. With such a fast scope, suggest setting the gain at 0 and taking subs at around a minute (or less depending on sky). No point in using higher gain unless you are aiming for some very short-sub lucky imaging. Cheers Ray

Might do some unguided subs and test it

http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...d.php?t=166787 took your advice - one minute exposures x 5 gain 0

thanks very much for the info Dave. gosh that looks amazing for such a short total exposure. Looking forward to you getting well and posting something taken over an hour or two. Cheers Ray

OK well using your table as a guide it's a sixty seconds shot which in poor sky conditions would be equivalent to a five minutes shot at gain 0. So therefore 5min worth would be the same as 30min at f7 roughly or am I not in the ballpark

Not quite sure that I understand the question Dave, but for certain, your scope is definitely very fast.

Take for example the mag 21 table at gain 0. Your scope will need a bit over 35 seconds and an f7 scope will need 7 minutes per sub to get to the same result. At f2.2, your scope puts photons into the pixels at about 10x the rate of an f7 scope.
