How many images of what exposures are required to produce a reasonable image of a star field resembling what you may see through the EP or in magazines and on the image pages of this forum.
Are these images acheivable using a DSLR with standard lenses or is it preferable to use the DSLR attached to a scope at prime focus.
Images I've taken so far using the DSLR with lens seem just like lifeless uninspriing dots on a dark background.
