ZWO gain settings - SGP versus APT

Folks wondering what are default versus good settings to use for Magnitude 4 - 7 targets on 4" - 5" refractors using ZWO 71MM-c and 1600MM-c cameras.

I didn't pay much attention to this - but it seems using APT on the 71MC shooting NGC 5139 - it defaulted to 0 Gain on some shots and 100 on others, but SGP defaulted the 1600MM on 240.

Deep Sky Stacker saw 60+ 2 minute light frames on the 71MC - but only registered and stacked 22 of them???

Still trying to figure out the best configuration settings - any advice greatly appreciated!
