Thats a good start Simon. Its always nice to see your very own first astro image.
Thats a very nice camera you have there and I suggest you search for tutorials on taking widefield photos that show the milky way and timelapse.
Dont worry about darks for exposures shorter than 3 or 4 minutes.
And experiment with higher iso's and increase exposure till the star elongation is prominent.
There might be some articles in the projects and articles section here on the left.
Widefields and timelapse will keep you busy till you get a mount.
Have a look at the night scapes section here for widefields and do ask questions on how they took it, what settings were used and so on.
Have fun.
Cheers
Alistair
