Hey seeker, I now understand where you are coming from. Now there is something you can do regarding the star trailing.
You could buy a wedge and go equatorial, which quite frankly is a pain to set up if you are mobile as I am.
So you could do what I did and buy an off axis guider and illuminated reticle. This will improve guiding and remove star trails by 100%. Then you could also do what I did and buy a field derotator. Many people bag these but I have found that they are worth the money if you stay in the alt az mode. You can then take shots over an hour and guide at the same time.
Still with what you are currently using these shots are great. You can use my suggestions or simply ignore them, I won't take it personally. As long as you enjoy the hobby that is all that matters.
