That looks really good for a first attempt Paul.
As far as using JPEG rather than RAW I've found that for dark sky and Milky Way time lapses that if you use JPEG the results look flat and can't be properly stretched to bring out extra detail. It's obviously a pain having to resize and convert to JPEG prior to animating but the extra work is generally worth it I've found.
I also use VirtualDub to create the sequence and find it works quite well. I usually then use Windows Movie Maker to edit and convert the avi video file to something like MP4 format which is smaller and easier to upload etc.
Not sure what you could use as a replacement for this however if it's no longer available.
