>>2710349yep I've got an equatorial mount (EQ5, a basic one) and my exposure time is typically between 60 and 90 seconds. I dont have an autoguiding system, so most of the time I prefer to take shorter exposures to have sharp stars. It also depends where I'm pointing at. And I have to spend a lot of time on my polar alignment, and do the aligning procedure several times to have a good enough tracking.
here's my latest M42, not my prettiest in terms of colors and sharpness, but theres a good amount of detail in it.
