Three years ago in my backyard, I tried to photograph the Orion Nebula with a $300 camera. The results were so bad I almost quit the hobby.

Saw a video where someone's first astro shots looked like fuzzy blobs too.

Ha, my first try looked like someone smeared Vaseline on the lens. I was ready to throw the whole camera out. @morgan_king36 is right about stacking, it's a total game changer. I must have stacked like fifty of those blurry messes before anything even slightly nebula-shaped showed up.

Oh man, I totally get that! What saved me was just stacking a ton of photos for free with DeepSkyStacker. It pulls out details you can't see in a single shot. My next try looked way better and kept me going.
