Hi All

A question from a newbie! In a relatively light polluted location using a DSLR camera, am I better off stacking shorter exposures (say 2, 3 or 6 x 10s exposures) or using a tracking mount and taking the equivalent length exposure? I would be looking at no more than a total integration time of 1 minute. In terms of minimising sky background brightness and maximising faint star detection which would be the preferred method?

Cheers
Andrew
