What exposure time are you using?
If you are not using a tracking mount then increasing the focal length then you increasingly have to use shorter and shorter exposure times. I'd actually go the other way and suggest that using a 50mm lens would be wiser. With a 50mm you should be able to use ~10s without needing a tracking mount.
Tony asked I did what I could.

I was thinking about going out with my 18 - 55 the next clear night If memory serves it was about 3s.
