I got a new 17-35mm zoom lens for my Nikon D100 and decided to give it a whirl for some wide-field unguided astrophotos. It was cold (11F) and clear tonight, so I only could stand about 10 minutes outside. This is a median combine of 6 30s exposures roughly centered on M31. The image is cropped to remove the effects of field rotation and then reduced to make it more web friendly. Not much done other than some levels and curves adjusted in PS 7.0 and some labeling so you don't get lost.
