As for focus, this morning I was lucky to have a bright light in the distance which I spot-autofocused on before switching off the AF.

I also have an EQ6 but I can't be bothered dragging that out with me. I will try bumping up to f4-5, reduce ISO down to 800 and increase exposure to 45-60secs. I gather I will get some star trails but it's the best I can do without tracking.
