Having refitted, you want to burn with the Microwarpdrive till you're somewhere directly above the rift, between the gas clouds. That Sentry Gun near the rift can, as I have discovered, alpha your frigate off the field. Here's what I know: It does lots of damage; it fires (like all the others here) once every 15 seconds; it does EM and Thermal damage; and you need to get to the rift as fast as possible. I also know that it typically engages you when you get to about 60km from it. The basic idea is this: Burn with the Microwarpdrive till you hit about 85km, then turn it off. Continue to slowboat.

You then have to make sure you can see your combat log (make sure it shows misses and hits) carefully on your screen. Having your Combat Log window pulled up helps too. The gameplan centers on the fact that the Sentry Gun fires every 15 seconds, yet your Microwarpdrive cycles once every 10 seconds. So you'd wait till it fires (and hits, or misses) the first time, then immediately activate the MWD approaching the rift ONCE. And only once: if it is set on auto-repeat, you might be dead within 10 seconds. You may want to turn that off for now. Then when it fires (and misses, or hits), you then hit the MWD again for one cycle. You repeat that until you get within activation range of the rift.
