Imaging with a Canon 1300d?

If time is precious do lights, bias and flats, skip darks they take time and can add noise. Do as many lights as can then in cloud so bias and flats I use my 7 inch tablet for flats using lightbox application.

Aha!

This you clearly a person who would benefit from a copy of 'Making Every Photo Count'  - it will answer all your questions, including most of the ones you haven't thought of yet and might even save you money by avoiding costly mistakes.

Hey it's me again! Just wanted to update you all. Got these images on the milky way last night. Kinda noisy but I'm really happy with them! This is without any stacking or tracking. What do you think? What should I do to improve?

Super! What settings/exposure did you use?

ISO 3200

F3.5

25 seconds 

Probably should have had a lower ISO but I guess you have to trade detail for noise.

I'd try stacking a few images. DSS is easy to use and will help with noise.

I'll try that at some point! Looking to get an eq5 mount when I have the cash
