Thanks, Chuck.
I'm not sure about the number of dark frames - just going by what my friend
suggested. I'm going to do some more research into the mechanics of the
process. The guys that are really serious also shoot a series of what are
called "Flat frames" and one other type as well. Not sure what all of them
are.
I think the series of 10 frames will go much faster with the cable release,
so maybe less movement. I may end up having to build some sort of
equatorial thingamajig.
