Hmmm, dont think 10 hours is going to happen any time soon, LOL
Looks like I will either need to grab a BB gun and go on a street light smashing rampage, OR shoot some narrowband.....(not gunna happen with what I have) OR buy a cheapish mono DMK or similar with some RGB and narrowband filters and have a play......
OR, pick up the scope and drive for an hour or more to dark skies and stuff around setting up etc etc etc and then find another limit either in the scope alignment or PEC or something.....
I think I might just play it cool for now and practice framing, guiding, drift alignment, exposure lengths and processing with what I can see from the disgustingly light polluted back yard before getting too frustrated with what the DSLR can and cant do....and buy a dedicated astro cam.....
Although, I am looking at a cheapish DBK21 for about $380 to play with, that might keep me happy for a while....
Thanks for the info again Dave....good to know I am up against the proverbial wall and not expect so much from such short exposures.....
Cheers
Chris
