Unless you mount the camera on a tracking mount, you want to avoid trailing. That limits you to an exposure of somethng like a second. However, this applies more in a dark sky context.
In the twilight, I'd trust your exposure meter and bracket one or two stops either way.

Thanks DN.
I'll go with the exposure meter reading and bracket around that.
I won't be tracking, but I would have thought I could go up to 15 sec without trailing with the 55mm lens, probably less than 10 seconds for the 135mm lens. But I'm not anticipating having to expose for more than a few seconds??
