I use an 8 inch meade and a 450d
I use the camera on 800iso as it is native for that camera.
If you are polar aligned (as in using a wedge ) you should be able to get about a minute or so without any problem without guiding.
Use stacking as it does give you far more detail. And removes a lot of noise.
In this summery temp, there may well be a noise bar from the battery. This will show as a red bar alongvthe bottom of the image.
Shorten the exposure or get an external power source.

I also use Apt as a camera control. This is a free download but consider paying the 23 dollrs. It's worth it.
It aids in focus and exposure setup. Good prog.
