A 10" f4 really grabs the light so it shouldn't need 15 minute exposures on such a bright target.
A 15 minute Ha frame would have been interesting though.
I can't wait to have a go on this one when my 10" f4 mirror arrives.

hi Allan,
I wanted the damn Jet, so went for 15 minutes. but also because I go by Ray's method of a target ADU for the background.
mine's around 3300 and with this 15min, its 3370 odd.
I think Ray's thread has some mention of not worrying about the well depth. can't remember.
This is the processed Lum

I find my stars are always a problem for me. I think my exposures are fine for the target but the stars do over saturate and grow in size. I want to try shooting 30-60 second images just for the stars and then figure out how to swap them.

Thanks. I think they can be controlled when processing.
Cheers
