If it helps at all I use 15 fps, brightness = 0, Gain = 380, exposure 1/60s to 1/77s to get the levels right. I have also done some practice/experimenting with more gain and shorter exposure, but you do get more noise obviously, though if you stack enough frames it makes little difference I think. My main reason for that is to be ready the next time the ISS crosses the sun - it would be nice to get an exposure fast enough to stop the ISS - and then overlay them onto a quality sun image.
