Hi Tommy:
I see you got good advice from Matt about polar alignment, but I haven't
seen any response to your question about exposure times. Best place to go is
Michael Covington's book, but if you don't have that, I have some personally
collected data in my article at
http://www.astronomy-images.com/Articles/Astrophotography_for_beginners.htm
Check Table 10-2 down near the bottom of the article. It gives sample
exposures for films of iso 1000 and iso 200 for a variety of bright and dim
objects. I think that Jerry's website also has a lot of exposure
suggestions, but I don't have the specific page handy here. Look around at
