^ What he said!

The Orion shot you took is a short exposure shot. To get more detail you will need to increase exposure length but then the stars will start to move due to earths rotation (see attached image).

So I would suggest you get a good EQ mount with RA drive which will counter the earths rotation.

Which one? Mount options are dependent on payload
