Hi Narayan . I have the ASI 183mc which i assume is similar. For lots of 2- 3minute images to stack In DSS it works well at 75 gain and the standard 8 offset. I imaged the triffid that way.

The best way to start with DS images.

You can go a higher I think but it gets noisy.

An enjoyable feature of these cameras is the ability to do a live feed in RGB24 for bright objects or use a live stack in Sharpcap using 16 bit mono so you can see what the colour result might be within a few minutes. For that live stack EAA however you need a high gain of say 270 and a short exposure of 8 seconds and set RGB balance to auto so it looks ok. There are tutorials for this on the net. You can see the Centaurus A galaxy clearly within a few minutes .
