Good start Duncan - as others have said, work on trying to get the best polar alignment if you're not autoguiding yet. Lots of decent drift alignment tutorials kicking about. Don't get discouraged though, as it can all be a bit overwhelming at first - lots of information to process which seems confusing when sitting looking down an EP in the dark and cold!!! Practice makes perfect though.
As jjj said don't worry too much about using RAWs straight away (creates a lot of unnecessary work for the beginner) - use jpegs to start. They'll be less processor intensive for stacking etc to begin with too.
Nice one - 1000D was a good choice too.
Onwards and upwards gadgy!
