My new Fujifilm camera has a low noise sensor, this allows me to use a fixed tripod instead of a tracking motor drive. As field rotation is now in play, your exposure time is of course limited, I can use around 7 secs with a 28mm lens, probably more depending on where your camera is pointed, near or far from the Celestial pole. The nearer the pole the less rotational movement.
I was quite surprised how well this one turned out.
