How to improve

Hi all
The equipment I have
Scope.... Skywatcher 130/650 Black Diamond Newtonian
Mount ... Skywatcher star discovery alt az goto mount
Camera.. Nikon D3100

I know the mount is my biggest drawback, but at this present time finances do not permit upgrading.

The problem I have is that i'm only able to get 1 sec images before i start to get star trails. I have seen images with the same set up of gear with longer times eg 20 secs.
The question is how is this possible ?
The attached image is Pleiades .. 25 x 1 sec 20 darks and 20 bias stacked in DSS
Any help or constructive critisism greatly accepted.

Thanking you in advance
