First off I'd be choosing a nice bright object that's easy to see through the finder. It's easier to frame your shot.
The LMC or the constellation of Orion are good choices.
With such a wide field of view you should be able to get at least 30 seconds of exposure before there's any visible sign of star trailing.
Set your ISO fairly high.
Take as many shots as you can.
Then put your lens cap on and take the same amount of darks.
Have you downloaded Deep Sky Stacker yet?
