Brendo, came across many posts on Cloudynights etc where people couldn't understand why settings changed across the software platforms. I'm new to this, no idea why.

But some good news, here is a screen shot I took of my settings:

- MaximDL5
- Bias Frame (Camera Covered)
- 0.001sec exposure
- Cooled to -25c
- Gain @ 1
- Offset @ 124

Is this the sweet spot?

When I take long exposures dark, eg 10mins with camera covered, why does it still look grainy like this? I'm new to asto CCD's... if I coverd my SLR and did a similar exposure - she was dark...
