Trifid & Lagoon

First time I've used a full-frame DSLR on my ED80, and I'm quite pleased with the result!

Orion ED80, 0.85 flattener
NEQ6 (unguided)
Nikon D600, 22 x 1m45s at ISO 1000

Compared to the cheap crop-sensor DSLR I usually use, the dynamic range is far superior - the centre of Lagoon isn't blown out, but there's tons of detail in the star field. I think I'm getting better at using the curves within DSS too.

Suggestions for improvement welcome. Anything I can do better?

Also - once again, every 7-8 minutes each sub is slightly blurry. 2-3 perfect shots then a slightly streaky one, consistently for an hour. It's happened before. Will this go away with guiding? Belt mod? PEC? Strip down & grease change? Any other suggestions?
