Hi Tim, awesome pic for a very simple setup for sure although I am a bit puzzled by the artefact around Alnitak, looks like a weird smiley face.

Not sure how guiding works on the Star Adventurer or what's weight limits are but I guess your next step up is to increase magnification to get closer detail and that means another lens\scope option. Would an ED80 be possible on the SA ? It would probably mean longer exposures and requiring guiding.
To go much further up I suspect it's start again with a bigger mount and more equipment. ( Read 'Expense' )
And it depends of course on what you want to do long term. Astro-imaging gets expensive real quick if you get serious about it. That being said you have made a damn good start to heading in that direction.

Up to you, plenty of advice and help on here.
