When you're under truly dark skies, it's amazing how easy astrophotography becomes. Shorter exposure times can be used, signs of vignetting disappear, and post-processing is a simple matter of levels, curves, and resizing.
The following image is evidence of this. It's a single 2-minute exposure with very little processing.
