Hi Jake, very good image for your first attempt.
I just upgraded my trusty old Nikon D80 to D3200
and my first attempt with the D3200 at M42 was modest although I did push the envelope at ISO 1600
only managed to capture 15x 10 second subs and 4 darks.
My HEQ5 pro mount was not polar aligned and unguided. Although the viewing conditions were less than favourable even with a noisy image I did manage to get somewhat of an image.
A wedge and accurate polar alignment will definitely help with longer exposures.
Once you get the bug you never stop trying.
