Having seen a plethora of YouTube videos on the subject of DSO's with just a camera and kit lens on a tripod I thought I'd give it a go.
Olympus EM1X with Olympus 75-300 (at 240mm so EFL 480mm) lens on Benro tripod in Bortle 6-7 skies.
283 light frames at ISO 6400 1 second exposure f6.4 (at this point I really didn't expect to get anything).
50 darks
50 flats
50 bias frames
Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker and processed (butchered) in Photoshop.
To say I have a long way to go is an understatement.
Happy with the result even if I may have over processed (or done it wrongly) as the colours of the sky have gone a little odd.
Thanks for looking and any CC welcome so I can improve.
I need a tracker now.
