Some data to share

[Nova2000]

Hi everyone. 

I'm very bad at processing. I would like to see how you'll go about with my data. 

It's a stacked autosaved dss image. Not edited. I don't remember the number of darks but i thinks it's 5

Total time 46mins.23subs of 2min and 1min mixed. good luck

Edit. 

You'll can also take it to pixinsight.

What do you use to process your DSS file?

I play with the rgb in dss and just do some stuff like sharpening and exposure in photoshop.

You could read the helpful guides on budgetastro.net Doug uses photoshop

+1 for happy-kat's suggestion. They are quite simple and very useful, and can also be found on youtube.

Not really good at processing either, but I figured I would give it a try anyway, just as a practice routine for myself nonetheless. This is what I could bring out of it. And I cropped it a bit, as the image had some stacking artifacts at the edges

Quick go in Photoshop.

Just thought I'd mention that calibrating with only 5 darks will add quite a bit of noise to the image, so try without - depends on how bad the hot pixels are, really.

How many darks should I use then?

More the merrier. I try to use about 30, enough that you can use the sigma stacking method.
