Here is an attempt at NGC 2237 "the Rosette Nebula" from light polluted skies with an unmodded dslr. The image has been heavily stretched. If I want to shoot this with my current setup I will definitely need to head to darker skies.

La villa de Paranapiacaba, localizada en el municipio de Santo André en São Paulo, es un lugar encantador, donde la niebla de las montañas recuerda el clima europeo. Fundada para abrigar los funcionarios de la compañÃa inglesa de trenes que construyó la São Paulo Railway, carretera que une el interior del Estado al puerto de Santos, esa pequeña villa se convirtió en uno de los lugares más visitados de la región. Construida a partir de 1860, la villa tiene casas hechas de madera de pino y de estilo inglés, y calles cuidadosamente planeadas, dando una sensación de acogimiento a quien llega al lugar.
Paranapiacaba is a village and a district of the municipality of Santo André in Brazil (state of São Paulo). It came up originally as a residence for the staff of the English company of São Paulo Railway trains - the railway that allowed the transport of cargo and people from inside Paulista to the port of Santos, and vice versa.
In the 1980s there was a working steam engine from the turn of the 20th Century, which they ran several times a day. It was originally used to pull inclined trains from the coast. You can get very close to the working parts and watch them while the engine is running.
The word paranapiacaba means "where you will find the sea" in Tupi-Guarani.
