I kept zooming into my tracked photos until I found the nearest star in the northern hemisphere sky, Barnard's star. I then aligned better images from professional telescopes and zoomed in more. It's all just kind of mind boggling once you do it this way and just go in.
The newer version of the cheap sky tracker mount I used. At least it used to be cheap. Using one of these though can make really any camera take amazing images of the sky.

At some point I'll have to make a quick simple video on how to do this. Basically you point it at the north star, turn it on and let your camera expose for a while. Say multiple images at 1, 2 or more minutes. All the same though. Then stack them in photoshop or something. Each layer's opacity is the reciprocal of that layer. Say you have 4. The top layer is 1/4.....or 25% opacity. Then next one below is 1/3 or 33%. Next one down is 1/2 or 50%. Bottom one is 100%. Just this many rapidly reduces noise. It's simply averaging out the noise. You can crank the iso so draw out more stars and also it's moving with them, keeping them on the same pixel location which also draws them out.
