Hi Chris, I notice that you keep referring to your cheap DSLR. It doesn't
matter whether you paid $350 or $1350, you won't see much difference in your results, although DSLR sensors are getting quieter, so newer models are better. Stunning results can be obtained from any DSLR given enough skill, talent, and commitment.
A damn good book is Photoshop for Astronomy by R. Scott Ireland; it
comes with a CD of tutorials. There are many tutorials on the internet dealing with all the different aspects of processing.
