So far, I've resisted the temptation to go below gain 50, as below that quantisation noise becomes an issue...but short subs are the order of the day with my f/4 newt. |
Thanks Dunk.
I haven't shot with the gain below 50 so I should try it as an experiment on a high dynamic range object and see how it goes. A lot of my uses of astro gear is from use rather than theory. The results are easy to see usually.
