Q re Long Exposure on the M9

NOTE TO ADMINS: Although similar to my post in the Monochrom forum, this post differs in that it asks about the M9 in particular. Please do not consolidate. 

I’ve got the M9 and am planning on a series of long exposure photos. I’ve already got a 6-stop ND filter and I’ve also ordered a 10-stop ND filter that I plan on stacking. I’ve also ordered a cable release that should arrive by week’s end with the ND filter. 

1. What is the upper limit recommended to safely expose the M9 sensor?  Does the camera have a maximum limit before it automatically closes the shutter? Is it also 240 seconds like the Monochrom? 

2. Any other long exposure tips on the M9 will be greatly welcomed. 

Thanks in advance,

RV

See pages 140 and 157 of the M9 Manual. Maximum B setting exposure is 240 seconds.
