Not bad for first time! "a little bit of tracking error,"there are only a few clusters with p/n in them, but M46 is the only one visible to the run of the mill amateur astronomer, M15 comes to mind but I think it requires a scope of at least 12"(30cm) and a realy good sky to see visibly.
M46 is visible naked eye from a reasonably dark sky.
