Am I expecting too much of my DSLR?

I am finally at the point where I have a mount I can rely on to capture good (well - good for me) data, but I am limited by being in inner Brisbane with its light pollution.

I use a vanilla Canon 550D - no mods, no cooling, and I am wondering whether it is the camera, or my limited processing skills that are my current problem.

Here is a link to one of my raw (.CR2) subs, and I have attached a jpeg of my best effort with it - following Louie's (atalas) excellent tutorials.

Can somebody who is better at this than me have a go at it - I know it is only a single sub without calibration - but I just need to know I am on the right track.

Exposure details are:

300s, 400ISO, ED80 with 0.8 reducer-flattener
