For processing and or stacking? I do have heaps of moon images and some of the Orion Nebula but yeah I totally understand it's such an expensive hobby haha I've also taken a picture of Saturn and Jupiter with my old scope such terrible weather here so I haven't fully tired out my new set up yet I've done Jupiter with it so far whichever I was just amazed by that. I also noticed your location is in narangba I actually live in narangba as well. But I hope to learn more and do more viewings.

PHD is for guiding and has no affect on the images you take itself (other than better tracking). If you're taking DSO shots, to reduce as much noise as possible and bring out more detail, you can take multiple lights to stack using DSS (deep sky stacker), you can do minor processing through that but you'd want to do additional post processing in photoshop.
