Hi Doug..your stars look a little like eggs. I'm guessing you are not tracking or you are not polar aligned. You must have good polar alignment and good tracking to start with. Then you can extend your exposure times and capture more detail and light. Best if you could post a little more about your scope so we can help you..

By the way ice cold beer can cause all sorts of focus troubles. I have even know the stuff to trip you over so you bump your scope. I don't trust beer or holes... I have had holes appear in all sorts of things
