What images can I expect to get from this setup?

I was wondering what images of dso I could get with this setup. How and how much would my images improve if I added in a decent file flattened and what would happen if I exceeded the maximum telescope magnification with Barlow lens.9623B4CF-F5F0-41EC-B31D-7906DAF6B4D7.thumb.png.f5a4be7d7fd418a02686e8def082c2f0.png

Have a look on the Astrobin website, you can search the images using the terms "72ED" and/or "DSLR", that will give you an idea of what's capable with that scope and camera. Be sure to look at what mount was used though!

The mount is the limiting factor in that set up. I suspect you’ll be limited to 30-60 second subs depending on your polar alignment and acceptable of rejection rate of subs. 
 

I think a field flattener is good, but I would go for a better mount first.

Hi

Not sure where you are but from 38° N at the moment you could get m31, the Andromeda galaxy, and whilst you're waiting for it to get high enough, choose a star cluster in Cygnus. Add to m31 each night whilst choosing a different cluster beforehand. Even better with a field flattener.
