Electronic Assisted Astronomy. Uses a high frame rate camera and software like Sharpcap . Sharpcap takes individual frames and aligns and stacks them to build an image progressively in real time. It does not need cooled cameras, although they can be used, and very accurate guiding is not necessary, as the frames are short.. As the frames are stacked wonderful images appear, on your screen. You can let it run as long as you like, increasing detail. Used extensively in planetary imaging, sometimes called Lucky Imaging.
Works well for DSOs, just acquire bigger stack. And no post acquisition processing is required.
Big topic on Cloudy Nights Forum (See EAA there).
