Depending on the camera youvise however Id recommend 1600 or maybe 3200 if it looks good.
The camera used was a Canon T1i with Baader modification. Next time I'll go with 800ISO and bump it up one and just go with longer exposure times. It'll do 1600/3200 but Orion is a pretty bright object so I'll probably see how it goes one session at a time. All in all I'm pretty happy with this.
I don't have a guidescope or anything. Just the telescope, a field flattener and the camera with my tracking mount.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
