Hi Leigh
I based the settings on my experience from a previous session (Nov 2015) where I used 1/1600, ISO800 at F6.3 and some of the brighter ISS components were blown out to pure white with no detail or texture in those parts.
For this session, I figured I would prefer a grainy but sharp image rather than a cleaner but blurred image, so I went for ISO 1600 and 1/2000 sec, part hope and part guesswork!
The ‘scope is an F11.5 instrument and although I do have a Reducer/Flattener, I didn’t use it, deciding to shoot at 2415mm FL for the larger image scale.
Cheers
Dennis
