That's great for a single shot. Take a bunch of those, stack and stretch them and you'll be blown away by what you've captured. Don't got bogged down too much with processing software. Use something that will do it all for you like ASTAP. 

The scope is very capable, the SLT mount is what will hold you back with imaging. I use mine on my NEQ6 mount. 

It really is, isn't it. 

I see some shots of the moons/planets and think my little 127 can do that!

Here is another DSO, I took this summer, again a single shot, but this was in Bortle 2 skies while on vacation. 

This is the best I've been able to squeeze out of my 127SLT in Bortle 7/8 skies. Single image about 15 seconds, no post processing. Canon SL1 - T-ring and remote shutter. 12/29/2020.

Hoping to upgrade to a larger aperture scope with smoother goto tracking, maybe this year (Meade 10" LX200 is my dream). Stars appear tack sharp but when downloaded there is always slight movement. 

Still happy with what I've gotten all things considered and how darn cold it was outside (0C or 31F).
