FOV should be fine Roger.  If you're guiding is OK, then do 300sec subs @ 800 ISO.

Definitely a good night for a practice run. 

The full moon means it will be difficult to capture faint objects such as galaxies so try a globular cluster instead.

P.S.  You'll soon discover that most of the clear nights are around the time of the full moon.
