I'd say the biggest problem is with tracking, Jen.
I tried a tripod mount at 45mm FL (Crux/Carina size) & the frames were so far out that registax couldn't align them...not till I aligned them by hand first, very tedious work.
( Note: This could just be my inability to use Registax )
At the FL of your poor, alcohol abused scope...things could get nasty.
As jjj says,any form of tracking would be a good investment...no offence to Dob pushers intended
