Okay total noob question:

 

1) what gain and offset settings should I use for my ASI1600MM-C?

a) for LRGB?

b) for narrowband?

c) under light polluted skies?

d) under dark skies?

 

2) what exposure time should I use? do I still use the histogram rule where you have the skyglow hump separated from the left edge?
