Regarding the L-enhance, according to your recommendation, it would be best to aim for 8 s exposures at high gains of 300 - 400, since light pollution i...

Question regarding binning, gain and exposure settings + polar alignment

Hello there, at the moment I have several questions with respect to my EAA technique. I always try to improve things to get the best out of my equipment.
