In the Capture and Resolution window (Figure 5), set the resolution to full, the gain to somewhere in the middle of the slider, and the exposure to video mode with “auto exposure” unchecked, and an exposure time to somewhere around 200-500 milliseconds.

At this point you are probably Dumbbell (M27), or Orion Nebula (M42) since they are all over exposing the star, and can back off on the exposure very bright and easy to see in short exposures to make time and gain settings.

For a CMOS chip like the G Series, and take at least one dark frame with the cap on the individual exposures probably do not need to be longer telescope that you will later subtract from the light frames than 180 seconds, especially when you’ll be stacking in your other software.
