You may not even need that many... it'll depend on the target, but yes... take lots of them...

Just the camera body. You could try the double cluster as a starting point... see what you get.

Here's a few examples of what can be achieved with basic equipment, just using the mounts tracking and a DSLR, The Veil in particular shows what happens when the exposure is too long, notice the star trailing, I am not happy with this one at all and will visit this target again when I sort out proper guiding.
