Currently i can go about 3 minutes now, but before i lost alignment, i could have gone for 8 minutes easy.
Just have to do a better PEC calibration.

This is the only limit thats not allowing more than 3 minutes now. I lost the original PEC, boy was i peed off when i lost it...

Not good to expose so long in suburbs with light pollution as it overexposes the ccd sensor, and stars are bloated, so better with a max of 2 minutes and then just stack them.
