to do the dynamic range I am sort of leaning towards the idea you may need to barcket your exposure times a bit, some short some longer and stack them, best way to reduce noise is to stack, stack, stack. You may also need to get a focal reducer, but as you say, One step at a time.
Great first image too, you should be proud of it. I am actually yet to venture into astrophotography with a DSLR, look forward to seeing more from you.
