Cheers guys, thank you all for your warm welcome and kind comments.
Have to admit the main reason I went straight to processing the data at the end of the night without spending more time gathering more lights and other calibration frames is that after failing to get polar aligned and the guiding to work for a few nights in a row, I have the gut feeling that I was just lucky to get it right this time, and won't be so until I really master my gears.

Thanks guys, I took this with an un-modded Canon 60D on an 8" f/5 Skywatcher reflector, driven by HEQ5 mount (which I think I'm pushing the weight limit because it's slightly off-balanced even with the two counterweights sitting at the end of the shaft). All guided by Orion StarShoot with 50mm Orion mini guide scope.

Print it out and frame it.
You will do better but that is an incredible start.
But its your first frame it.
I wish I had my first capture.

Thank you Alex, great idea! I didn't think of it until now. I'll definitely frame it nicely
