My first Orion

This is my first attempt at Orion. Took the photo last night through my ED127 not real good but its better than any other attempt I have made.
The alignment wasnt spot on as you can see from the star trails.
This photo was taken at ISO800 and 10 second exposure.
Beside the alignment not being good what can I do to improve the photo?
I had tried to use a 2.5 barlow but I couldnt find anything in the view finder so just went back to scope- extension tube- camera.
