Thanks Jennifer. I might try the settings as this is close to my setup. i will move to stacking but thought first outing was single shots for the moment and getting focus and I have some awesome tips so far
I have a guider on its way so I am going to see what I can do with that as well. Nice photo by the way. i am hoping to aspire to some of the DSLR photos i have seen on here.

I use the camera on 800iso as it is native for that camera.
If you are polar aligned (as in using a wedge ) you should be able to get about a minute or so without any problem without guiding.
Use stacking as it does give you far more detail. And removes a lot of noise.
In this summery temp, there may well be a noise bar from the battery. This will show as a red bar alongvthe bottom of the image.
Shorten the exposure or get an external power source.
I also use Apt as a camera control. This is a free download but consider paying the 23 dollrs. It's worth it.
It aids in focus and exposure setup. Good prog.
