Re: Leaving mounts and scopes outside?

Re: Noob astrophotography
Always nice to see galaxies taken in sg, and pretty damn incredible without a tracker!! ISO doesn't really make a difference because most modern cameras are pretty iso invariant, but still higher iso (higher gain) might have slightly lower read noise.
