Whatever you do, don't give up, keep asking. The "get the DSLR out" idea has merit, as it will show you how easy it is to get an average shot, but the QHY8 will give you better.
First thing you really need though is the "proper" offset and gain, so work on this. I did the same as what was described in the "lightstorm" link Robin posted. In my case I ended up with Gain 1, Offset 114, but each camera is different, so trial and error it, and get this sorted first.
Then tuck into some more subs, longer being better, or if the skyglow intervenes, more of them.
