I feel for you Mort, I recall the same trepidation when I started, but just jump in, you can't fail. And if you do, post what it looks like and we can help.
Really, I suggest you just shoot as many as you feel you need, then some more to boot. Use either Nebulosity (it has a free trial) or some other stacker, and see what you get. DeepSkyStacker is good, and as Ken said AstroArt is too, better in fact. BUT........ they are both Windows based.
Try nebulosity first.
Forget darks, flats, and bias frames, just shoot lights and stack them. Report back with what you get and we can go from there.
I'll wager there will be someone in your area that can/will help you, but failing that blunder on and ask when you get a result, any result.
