What exposure lengths are you using?

I got a bit of data on 6744 at Astrofest but not too much and found i had trouble getting detail with 10min subs.
Right now i am imaging it from home with 15min subs and it's still a bit dull (waiting for NGC253 to come up).

Nathan,

with the LP at my place its 180 seconds on R and G, 288s on B and 300 on L.

Way too short unless I just plug away at it for hours.

For some reason, the more data I add, the harder it is to process. I guess I need to keep at it.

I also switched over to NGC 253 - its far easier!

Pete
