That's the look of, "Jesus Christ I'm going to have to take all this stuff out to the middle of nowhere every time I use it."

Aye. I'm learning to collimate (align) the mirrors right now. Has to be done every time I take it out so I may as well get good at it.

I'm going to try this. Is there a program that stacks and reorients the pictures since the stars move a bit in 7 minutes?

I just ordered my first telescope. An Orion 8-Inch f/3.9 Newtonian Astrograph Reflector... with a Baader coma corrector. I also ordered an autoguider camera. I'll have everything I need now.

This is someone else's gear, but this is the same mount, scope, guidescope, and guide camera I will be using.
