This image has decent detail showing through even with the moon washing out the sky with its glow. Was this taken at prime focus or did you have a barlow introduced in the image train?
Good start.

Thanks Tony.
That's at prime focus yes and I think I'm a little over x3 with a Baader FFC. I'll work out the exact image scale with the spacing I had but I reckon a bit over 8m FL is a good estimate. I focused initially on a moon of Jupiter and I realised my collimation is a tad out so another thing to look at as well. I'm wondering if the detail is not smeared by rotation as well. I don't know at this stage until I play with the data. There's tones of it on 3 separate drives. I filled up every hole I could find on my work machine.
