Baby steps - or space dummy

well this is the very first image I obtained from astrofest. its very ugly, badly thrown together but in my eyes it shows promise. I used my c11 with hyperstar3 for the very first time with a celestron Nightscape one shot CCD camera. unfortunately its no DSLR so everything is in FITS format - there in lies the problem - I couldn't see the shots to screen them and remove the ones that were elongated (due I think to the 3.35 firmware on the eq8 mount) so here is the warts and all shot of 44 x 150 seconds or 1h50min with a crop. I need to develop a system for getting better flats as well. the vignetting is horrendous

help needed what viewer can I use to see the fits files?
