Hello,

Has anyone used the zwo 183MC with short (5-30Sec) exposures?
If so what where the used settings?
I  am a newbie in a BORT 6 suburb.
Trying to shoot some decend astro pictures with a skywatcher quattro 8 and a zwo asi 183, but struggling with settings.

I'm a relative beginner as well, but I have had luck using 20 second exposures without adjusting any other settings.  I have an alt-az mount, so I must keep my exposures short to prevent stair trailing. Can you be more specific about what your exact problem is?

In a bortle 8, I take 30" exposures at 111 - 150 gain, 10 offset. and -10ºC.
I use a Optolong L-enhance with this skies.
