I am now able to process RAW files from my Canon EOS 60D using DeepSkyStacker so here is another image of the Triangulum Galaxy!
6 x 20 & 3 x 15-minute exposures at ISO 1600, f10. Off-axis, manually guided. Frames registered and stacked using DeepSkyStacker. Unmodded Canon EOS 40D & Celestron C8 telescope.
Skywatcher 72ED and Atik 314L with UHC and UV/IR block filters piggybacked to main scope on CEM60. 28 subs at 120secs each stacked in Deepskystacker and processed in Photoshop CS2,no flat nor dark frame subtraction.
Nikon D5100, GSO 6" RC, CCDT67, on iOptron iEQ30Pro. Guided using Metaguide with FlexRX. Stacked in DeepSkyStacker, processed in StarTools, final denoise in Noiseware
7x 8min lights, 4x darks, 42x flats (ISO 320)
I should take another 10 or so lights next opportunity - amazing what I can be done with only 7 subs.

The Helix is very difficult to image from my latitude and location, as it is very close to the Southern horizon and then only visible for a very short time due to obstructions. Hence the image is still rather noisy, despite a total of 2 hours & 41 minutes of exposure.
21 manually-guided exposures of between 4 to 10 minutes were taken in 2009, 2010 & 2012; registered and stacked in DeepSkyStacker software.

It's really amazing the difference between these faint single exposures and a quick and dirty stacking of them where you can see so much more.
My first attempt at a wide-angle Milky Way shot. Lots of noise because I neglected to take darks and flats. Oops! :) Shot with a Nikon D80 and 18-200VR lens. 11 frames of 15 seconds, unguided, f/5, ISO 1600 stacked with DeepSkyStacker.

Sh2-142 , chiamata anche Nebulosa Mago è una nebulosa a emissione visibile nella costellazione di Cefeo. Si individua nella parte centro-meridionale della costellazione, prolungando la linea che congiunge le stelle ζ Cephei e δ Cephei e deviando poco verso sud; il periodo più indicato per la sua osservazione nel cielo serale ricade fra i mesi di luglio e dicembre ed è notevolmente facilitata per osservatori posti nelle regioni dell'emisfero boreale terrestre, dove si presenta circumpolare fino alle regioni temperate calde. Sh2-142 è una regione H II situata sul Braccio di Perseo, distanza 11530 anni luce. Appare legata al giovane ammasso aperto NGC 7380.

Stacking three 30-second exposures to get an effective 90 second integration, the Milky Way contrasts with the dust lanes found in the Cygnus region. Also, the Andromeda Galaxy is clearly distinct.
This is the same stack as previous but using darks and no drizzle. I selected the drizzle by mistake on the other one and it increased the image size by four times.....
I'm gradually getting more of the nebula to show........

Though the photo was shoot in early summer, I can still remember the chilly wind outside. It was a mountain about 200 miles to the west of the city of Shanghai. Due the the latitude, the Milky way center is not as high in the sky as in Australia, so the unclean atmosphere affected the picture a lot. Thanks to the later process on computer, I get rid of most of them. But the noise is still there, I have to push the image, drag the curve to make it brilliant. It is not comparable to some masterpieces I saw online, the geographic condition is not good enough, the camera is lower level, the lens is so cheap($70) and poor quality, don't even talk about the equatorial mount which is no more than $80 in total and I need my eyes to guided the star, but after long times of guiding and several days of computer processing, everything became magic, I will love it forever.

An improvement from my previous attempt
Due to me feeling like crap and the sky being dominated by the moon, I thought I'd go over the frames I took last month with the 20D. Only had 12 frames (2 min and 3min)but DSS has produced a much better image than I was able to achieve before. I especially like the detail in the core of the Nebula (not blown out at all).
