Here's a comparison of 2 imaging sessions of M20. On the right is 12x 60sec subs stacked - so 12 min exposure time. On the left 33x 60sec, 33minutes exposure time. (both have 20 dark frames)
You can clearly see more detail in the 33min and richer colour - much less noise.
Conclusion; take as many exposures as possible to stack!
(for the image on the left I originally did 70 images - wasn't happy with them all.)

12minutes (12x60sec @ iso400) Canon 5Dmii on Celestron 11" CGEM DX.
The trifid nebula is an emission and reflection nebula in the constellation Sagittarius.
I'm disappointed that only a quarter of my exposures were usable due to clouds and slight blur caused by the Canon's shutter.
This one is a little over processed, but I wanted to try bring out as much colour as possible.
Definitely something to re-image, also using Ha filter next time...
(Check out another pic in my photostream where this was re-imaged)
Celestron 8" SCT @ f6.3 Prime Focus.
Lots of tedious and seemingly-random Photoshop adjustments to color saturations (no painting) using the method described by Filipe Alvez.
My first try at capturing Orion. Celestron 5SE, f/6.3 reducer, Lumix GX7, ISO 400, 20 secs. Near perfect conditions but close to SFO so lots of light pollution. No editing at all.
Jupiter 11th Sept 2022(00:03 UT) excellent seeing conditions.

One of the evenings I was setting up for an ISS pass. Thought is would be fun photographing a plane over Sandon.
I took a video, because why not? Note the shimmer along the day/night terminator at the bottom. Terrible seeing conditions, and moon was modestly low in the sky.

Jupiter's 2015 Opposition, shot at 2am on February 7th.
This was taken with a Canon T4i at prime focus on a 127mm Celestron 127SLT telescope (1500mm focal length).
A 2000 frame AVI was captured with BackyardEOS at 5x zoom. The best 25% were stacked in AutoStakkert and processed in Registax and Lightroom.

I took about 50 pictures with different exposures and Iso value just for testing settings for the real session.
Just "for fun" I stacked them, and this is what I came up with.
Moons are just visible.

This was my current rig (until yesterday), and has produced the majority of my images. It has traveled across Canada and as far south as Orlando with me. I still have the ES ED80, but have since upgraded to a Skywatcher HEQ-5 Pro mount.
