I have to agree it is possible to do something in under 30 seconds. I dont mean to hijack a thread but I also managed to same http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/a...se.php?a=85246 in 34 10 sec exposures. It really opened up some possibilites want to follow up with other objects.

Although ISO levels are needed to be higher and I also have 12" DOB on an EQ platform. Much more apeture so shorter exposure

Tried to capture more last night but my platform played up.
Looking good Malcolm
The only problem with a dslr is the noise

The exposure time depends on the ISO and what you want to capture.
For M42 you need to experiment with the exposure time to get the trap and not blow it out.
Then you take longer exposures to get the nebulosity and blend the shorter exposures into the longer exposures( this is not always the case ).
So it all depends on what you want to image.
