Hi Spearo
Congratulations on a great start to the hobby. With the 20Da and the C9.5, you now have the equipment to produce some really good shots.
The next step will be to learn how to stack a number of single shots together. This will improve the signal to noise ratio in your shots and allow even more aggressive "stretching" to bring out more faint details. You should also look into calibrating your frames to remove dark current and to remove vignetting (darkening of the edges).
Much of this can be done in programs like Photoshop, but there are some dedicated software titles that will automate these processes. ImagesPlus is probably the most popular and is an excellent program but is does cost $$. IRIS is also popular. It is free, but it is difficult to learn.
As you say, baby steps. But you will soon be taking leaps and bounds.
Cheers
