Aaahhh - imaging at last!!
Good stuff David!! ... and welcome to IIS!
You're a bit light on for colour saturation (= a little too natural for my tastes), but you've got some nice definition going on there for sure.
Given they are your first astro-images, they were made through a home made telescope, they were unguided and they were taken near full moon using an unmodded camera you should be very pleased with the result!!
Now on to some longer, guided exposures!
Cheers, Marcus
