Thanks Guys.....I know its a tuff subject....I am just kind of wondering what benifit I would get by lowering my ISO and taking longer exposures....

If you can see it from my point.......the shorter exposures at higher ISO was giving me the same results in a 1/4 of the time....why would I think about taking longer exposures at lower ISO's for the same result...and with this comes the need of very accurate guiding.

Dont get me wrong I know their must be some benifit to long exposures with lower ISO as everyone does them..I just cant see it in the shots I have taken.

Maybe the Loss of rezolution from high ISO is something that I dont see considering your dealing with 8 Megapixels of rezolution....considering we are reducing it under 1 megapixel to post on the forums.

I know I have lots to learn and this why I posted this thread....I just need some convincing about low ISO and longer exposures.
