Adam, well done on your shot.
Couple of things you might like to check. It seems to me your collimation might be a little out. The general blurring can be an indication of this. The LX200 are good scopes but they need collimation often. You will find that a very minute turn will improve it by a large percentage. Try also to have your gain a little higher also. This will give more detail and if you get around 3000 frames and stack 2000, your image will be very smooth and have good brightness.
Finally, be mindful of cool down times. I have used this type of scope extensively and found that they can take many hours to cool down. This can also cause blurring of your images if not properly cooled down. I would suggest an SCT cooler as a good piece of equipment to purchase.
Anyway, keep em coming. I hope to see some good stuff from you.
Paul
