Serious First Light with QHY8L

Folks,
Attached is my first serious first light taken with my newly acquired QHY8L.
It was taken last Tuesday night when I could see stars. It is a combination of 13 x 7 minutes hovering around the -15 mark. This image contains no darks, bias or flats but having said that, I do need them?

Stacked in DSS and processed in CS3. The image is cropped only to bring out the nebula.
