Need advise on recommended ISO setting and exposure time for deep sky using a Canon M50 DSLR w/ astronomik light pollution filter in a class 8 city sky.

Michael: Try both ISO 400 & 800. The chart for the 50D isn't clear. Your exposures will be longer with the filters than without...but don't change the ISO Dan Kahraman

I did take 9 pictures 400 ISO @5 minutes each on M101, but it did not seem to pick up much detail in the galaxy when stacked. Maybe it is me just processing wrong. I will try 800 ISO when the skies clear next, thanks.

Michael,
Tons of discussions on camera ISO's, etc. over on CloudyNights, and some astrobin posters also list their ISO. Probably best to figure out the ISO that best suits your camera, and then sort out the exposure with trial-and-error.
CN is where I learned the best astro-ISO for my D5300, and that for my specific camera, there was no point in taking darks. Lots of back-and-forth to sort through. Search is your friend...
