Hi,
I use a Pentax *ist DS and an 8" newtonian on a HEQ5. I would also like to be able to capture some images that are much brighter than they currently are, see the following thread for my best so far:

On the issue of noise, I know how to make darks but at what point are they inserted during processing?
In terms of brightening up my images, in the first link I am close to blowing the stars that make up the trapezium already. If I take longer exposures, which I am supposing is the way to brighten the image) then I will definitely blow these stars.
What am I missing here?
Any advice is very much appreciated.
Regards
Daniel...
