Thanks for the help.
The camera I use, the Canon Powershot, while not a DSLR, it has some pretty good manual controls and a 12x zoom.
It's max exposure time is 15sec, which is why I am excited about the pic you took. It may be within the capabilities of my little camera.
I built myself a Haig mount (barndoor, scotch etc) a while ago and have used it to take some shots of Orion that turned out OK, some nice colour in the neb, but I think I only stacked a couple of images to get that.
I should have persevered and taken heaps more.
I'll go out tonight, if clear, and have another go, and if I get anything worthwhile I'll post it.
BTW.
A barndoor mount is quite simple to make and costs very little. Even a girl can do it.LOL
Once I had all the gear assembled, it took me only a few hours to put mine together, and most of that time was spent laquering and gold trimming it to make it look purty.
