[Jim Gianoulakis]

I agree. I've been moderately successful in my backyard, but success is relative :). I attached a few shots I have done with a modified canon 40D. They were taken with a 12" LX @ F10. I do use a Hutech LPS filter which helps. I'm going to spend a couple of weeks at Bryce Canyon in May so I'm hoping to get my rig mobile to take advantage of the dark skies.

I'm using a Canon Rebel XS.

You definitely have to get out of the city, where the sky is 
dark.  Even with Broad or Narrow band filters, you still get a lot of 
background glow when the background is well lit.
