Well done Chris. Great result for a single exposure. You've managed well at focusing through the viewfinder but that can be a bit hit and miss, especially for fainter objects. I'd second the Bahtinov mask suggestion. Use it on a bright star to nail focus and then swing over to your object. I tried to check out the Sandy Ridge Observatory webpage (attracted by your avatar image) but the links on the home page don't seem to work.
