Thanks to you guys, a newcomer should be able to figure it out. 
What battery pack do you suggest? Should be rechargable / come with a charger perhaps.
Photos of the LMC from last night after processing. A neighbouring Galaxy? No way!
Amazing I can get this without a telescope. This is also a non-darksite version. I might be able to do even better with the current gear and even longer exposures, as this is closer to the pole.

Those photos are looking good Jethro. Your getting the hang of things now. Wait till you get that tracker going
As for a battery pack. Just find a battery holder that will take 4x AA batteries. You can put rechargeable batteries in if you want or just use normal Alkaline ones. (Try and find a battery pack with female headers on the connector. otherwise you might have to attach some to make it easier to connect to the arduino later. )
