Great capture Kevin and with a DSLR, better still. Your set up, like mine, has now become the modern day old school if you know what I mean. Despite that, I would expect your capture is 10X better than the one you looked at 45 years ago. Most probably taken through a 2 metre telescope on Kodak Hypersenstised 2415 pan film or whatever they used to call it back then.
It's funny looking at some of those old astronomy books now which printed the best photos they could manage at the time and see how much the quality has changed. If you got a result like they were back then now, it would be straight to the Trash folder!
