It is a nice closeup of NGC 2070. As raymo says, dropping the exposure time until you get your guiding sorted will give rounder stars and better detail but just won't be as deep with the fainter nebulosity.

Looking at it on my phone isn't the best but it looks like you could up the saturation a bit further, also helps a bit with getting the right colour balance, even the colours really stand out

Great first shot though, 100x better than my first attempt on this region with 100x6s exposures on an alt-az mount
