I also tried out a longer lens, my Sigma 105mm, I definitely need some more practice with this one at night. 3 second exposures at just beyond what you can do at 105mm, so it really should have been 2.5s. The below image is the best of the few shots I took with it. Clearer image of Jupiter, but not as good imaging of the general starfield background:
