If polar alignment is an issue, as it has been with me, take a lot of short exposure shots. I have a 400D, and I take around 25 to 30 exposures at 10 or 13 seconds each (ISO1600 with ICNR). The final image turns out okay. As I have slowly been able to get my alignment organised, I have increased the exposure times.
