Hi Marty,
I like the colours in your image and you managed to capture some detail - so not a bad attempt at all!
As others have already said, there are most likely a few factors affecting quality, so gradually eliminating them will help you in composing great astro photos.
I have noticed that stars show increasingly more distortion towards the bottom of the image, so I would definitely check collimation and also perhaps for camera's tilt to optical axis.
Light pollution will most certainly limit the degree of faint stuff you can capture - that's why many astro-imagers use cooled mono camera's with narrowband filters. But that costs quite a bit, and I think after tweaking your rig and properly polar aligning you will be able to campture some amazing astro images.
