Version 3 is best - V4 is newest but is very resource-hungry, and over-complicated for a new user.

You can take several 1 minute exposures of the same part of sky, then Registax will align and 'stack' those pics on top of each other, to build up the detail into one combined pic.
Registax can even stack hundreds of frames from an avi movie, to build up a more detailed jpg picture (a very popular planetary imaging technique)
Amazing what can be done with modern digital astrophotography techiques.
Wow thank you =]

I will be sure to try it on the next clear night!

Where abouts in the milky way in the sky? Is it anywhere near orion?
