Hi Cam,
I took below at iso 3200 on modded canon 1100d with astronimik 1.25 cls and ir filter and did not use the blurred ones. On 2 shots I set camera colour to tungsten. No darks were used.
5 x 10s
5 x 15s
5 x 20s
My equipment is 8se with starsense and meade 6.3 reducer. I have also found that if I focus via the viewfinder, the shots are slightly out of focus blurry but now I use the live view and focus on a bright star first and images are much sharper. I also need adjust the offset on starsense as the object is just outside the liveview centre square. As you can see the image is off centre.

Regards
Kon
