Well said Martin good advice for the beginner.
I just wanted to make sure that people don't think that taking loads and loads and loads of really short subs will somehow magically give you a photo that that looks like it has really long subs because it doesn't.
I would love for somebody to prove me wrong i have no issue with it but from experience really short exposures don't help with data
but are required for really bright objects.
I do layered images and M42 is perfect for it and im sure you have done alot in that area
. Then I have 15min sub exposure images for capturing dark nebulae. Though i am still learning and by no means of the swing know even 1/4 of everything.
After all whats the use of miss information in a beginners section
