Hi Chris, I don't understand why you struggled to get much detail or colour.
I have attached one of my early efforts produced with the SW 8"Newt that
you now have. Also no darks, flats, etc, and 50 x 30 sec subs @ISO 1600 with my Canon 1100D, stacked and processed in DSS, and sharpened and downsized in PS. Maybe the answer lies in the processing rather than the acquisition.
