HI Tristan and welcome to IIS.

Astrophotography requires many hours and a steep learning curve; and yes it can be frustrating.

Most mounts like eq5 are really only suited to very short exposures and stacking them, and you really are going to have to learn to drift align on a good mount like the Heq5 or get software to assist,

A lot start with SW ED80 and EQ5/6 or similar.

There really are no shortcuts; you must invest a lot of time and money on a good mount etc.

Other posts here have mentioned how to do this.

Cheers bigjoe.
