Hi, I am hoping this is a basic question.

This is the first time using PHD2 and was looking at making a dark frame library.

The guide camera i am using is a ASI290mm mini and it is connected to an Orion 60mm guide scope.

What should i be setting the minimum and maximum exposures at?

The manual just gives some generic numbers of 1.5s for minimum and 5s for maximum with about 5 exposures.

Can anyone please advise me on what some good numbers for minimum and maximum would be for this setup please?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Use the default values.

I go from 0.5 seconds to 5 seconds and leave it at 5 exposures.  I pretty much always guide with between 1 and 3 second expsoures, but I just go for a little wider range in case I might use them for some reason.  The whole process doesn't take long so why not.

Thanks for the replies.

Very much appreciated.

I figured it would be a simple answer regardless.

Thanks again.
