Great result Doug considering you thought it wasn't going to happen!
I've done exactly the same thing many times after replacing parts and formatting machines.... you get all exited as the night looks great then hit something and wham.... nada.... then you work out you forgot to load ASCOM or you didn't have the latest update or something or other.. generally these nights are dedicated to problem solving and nothing gets done...
Tend to agree with H and Mike, needs some more blue channel,... looks a little brown in my monitor.
All in all though, there's some nice detail showing especially for your aperture.
I think also the focus or the seeing was a bit soft this night. If you haven't already, get yourself a motorised focuser... I believe from comments from Greg Bradley and others, these scopes are notorious for needing to be tweaked as the night wears on.
But truly, these are lovely scopes, bet you love it!!
All the best
Rich
