Talking pathetic attempt BUT my first Omega

After 6 months of studying, buying, assembling, this is all I have to show.... BUT it is the start..... David Malin watch out.
Details
ZWO ASI 224MC
Esprit 100mm triplet
Exp 1.56 sec
Sharpcap 40 frames in .png
Stacked in DSS (it stacked only 23 frames)
Gain 586
Processed in Star Tools until the whole lot froze up
Seeing bad - I had to delete 20 out of 120 frames taken due to clouds.
HEQ5 mount, NO guiding - just polar aligned
I guess that I should have used much longer exposures and not so much gain
PLEASE COMMENT and tell me what I SHOULD have done!!!
Anyway, it's better than a slap in the face with a wet kipper
