Sarah Wager, one of the worlds most noted astrophotographers used a DSLR
early in her career, and produced images I would have been overjoyed to
have taken with any type of camera. If you want to move on to narrowband
imaging, that's a different matter.

Thanks Raymo, All of my images have that horrible multi-coloured background that I assume is at the noise level from the camera. I'm guessing cooling would help and I have made a cooler for the camera but that's extra weight on an already back heavy setup plus I don't feel the camera would stand up to the condensation too well. I recently discovered the Script for removing the banding that you get from the DSLR (Cannon script in Pixinsight) which helps with the banding but still leaves the multi-coloured background. See attached images.

Oh, and yes, I would like to be able to move on to narrowband imaging as well.
