Just one thing (yes I know its more money) would a CCD CLS EOS clip help with the city/sky glow to give me better data or am I just polishing the proverbial excrement wasting $200 on this as I am using an unmodded camera?
Frankly yes, Chris! They are a waste of time, unless you are guiding and can guarantee at least 6 - 7 minutes with round stars

Alternatively, iso800 and expose for 3 - 3.5 minutes under polluted skies - from Astropix exposure tables. StarTools Wipe will take care of light pollution.

And dither. A prerequisite for DSLR images. Modify your camera.

Have fun!
