1min widefield exp probs

Hello. The other night i was enjoying some time out under the stars and decided to try some 1 min exp widefields. After a brief drift align( was close-ish but no cuban cigar) i proceeded to open the shutter for 1 min exp's.
I realized there was star trailing but that's ok for now. I seen the CA but that's ok (i was using my std 18-55mm kit lens @18mm) But after doing a quick process i found there was massive amounts of glow coming from the Adelaide side of the image (bottom right) Are filters needed to counter that glow, lower ISO? I was quite amazed at the amount there was.

pic 1- single image 1 min exp iso 1600 f3.6 This is the first time i have tried 1 min exp's. Is this normal to have that much glow?

pic 2- stacked image in DSS 11x 1 min exp iso 1600 f3.6. I noticed the image quite blurred and is this because the field drifted between frames?
Thanks for any info
