Bloats and Halos

Hi folks, I'm on the steep learning curve in astrophotography so do not offer the attached image as being anything more than a beginner's stumbling step. OK. That said, I need some advice on how to deal with the bloated star images I'm getting. Here is a fairly typical shot - it's unguided and with a rough alignment only - the Lagoon throuhg my home-made 5" refractor and a 1000D (unmodd'd) from about 10 x 30sec shots.
Advice appreciated.
Peter
