Hi all,

Does anyone have any experience capturing planetary moons, like Deimos and Phobos? If so, what sort of suggestions can you give....by that I mean, what works better, many short exposures (like 200 one second exposures) or fewer long exposures (10 one minute exposures). How about gain, brightness, etc? With the new system and a camera capable of long exposures it would be fun to try.

Paul

Thanks again!
