Here's an image from 36 x 5 min subs with my bog standard Canon 700D. This was from the ASV dark sky site on the weekend. Amazing what a difference dark skies can make. I'm still not on top of the processing, but I think it still came out pretty nice. I've done some deconvolution and noise reduction on it in pixinsight. I intend to do a bit more work on it.
