Nice start Mick,
Don't worry too much what it looks like - all our first images looked like that (and some years later). A lot of the result is also in the processing. I used a free program called fitswork4 to remove the gradient in your image, then photoshop to increase star colour, reduce background noise and reduce coma.
With practice you can get a better colour balance. A lot of nebulae look very different in a standard DSLR. A lot of them will look blue/teal instead of red.
Your image is quite good - just need more practice with processing. here's a lot of people here who will be happy to help!
Tony.
