Sounds similar exposure wise to what I would use, except I seem to have this fixation about using gain. I need to see a shrink.
My first shots ( few nights ago, and crap I might add) were at 5fps, but last night I returned to the old standard, 10fps.
We will have similar effective focal lengths, and there will not be much difference between an 8" f10, and the 7" f12, surely. (Well OK in cost perhaps).
If you are like me and too scrooge to pay for K3, try IRIS, it is a very good capture program, and I also use it for autoguiding with Rob's StarMate, mate. (no stutter intended).
I would like to also add what Robby has stated, it is awesome to see the group grabbing this planetary imaging by the throat and going for it, really great.
