Hey Mike,

Welcome to astro imaging - hope you get hooked too!
If you're doing planetary work, do give the GIMP a try. It's free image processing software similar to PhotoShop and is quite capable for beginners doing planetary work.
When you sink your teeth into DSOs then it's time to upgrade as the GIMP doesn't deal with low signals very well (the GIMP for now only deals with 8-bit signals).

I normalized the levels of your image and applied some deconvolution to better see the rings.

Cheers,
