and exposure times of 50th of a second and faster,
images taken are way to blurry (daytime).
Goddammit. What are we doing wrong ?

Do you wear glasses, if so focus with them on.

C5s have very poor stability for astro-photography. Even the shutter
will vibrate the setup... get out the sandbags. Try leaving the shutter
open and using a black card to start and stop exposures... at least the
longer ones.
