## Methods  The purpose of this investigation was to compare the images resulting from different exposure times using the PROMPT Telescopes  to the recommendations listed for the Faulkes Telescope. Telescope:  | Object Type | Lower Limit | Usual Exposure Range | Better Images  | :---- | :---- | :---- | :---- | 

| | Mag. 14-16: 30s |  | | Mag. 16-18: 60s |  | | Mag. 18-20: 90s |  | | Mag. > 20 Ask for advice. Based on our findings we will create our own recommendation table for the PROMPT telescopes.  For this experiment we conducted three trials. That is three images for each recommended exposure time were collected for each type of object. We analysed our data by visual inspection of the images. We used the image processing software Afterglow to change the min and max and determine the level of detail we could see and if any part of the image was over exposed.
