An EQ mount is where I would start...once you get it working things will be better I expect.
In any event for the moment try shorter exposures and just do heaps on the basis of getting the best out of what you have...you could try to polar align your current mount..if it wont fall over
but you can aim your axis at CSP which is in effect making your fork mount an EQ...that could help if you are lucky with your pointing.
Focus...learn to do it manually..it would take me 30 minutes once to get it acceptable ...but auto focus is great.
