Greg,
Regarding
Looking at your image suggests that by using a tripod and a slightly faster shutter speed you should obtain star images which should be useful for calibration.

Regarding
Calibrating the camera using low magnitude stars isn't going to work since the star images are fat and not symmetrical.
