Oh, and I forgot to ask .... do you turn the NR off?

I prefer to have noise reduction OFF and take my own dark frames (equal exposure time) versus waiting twice as long to see my results and if any adjustments need to be made

OK, I'll pass the message along.
Thanks!

Note that you can also use Multi-Exposure or Interval Composite (both with the Additive composite mode) to achieve very long exposure times without using Bulb mode.
