If you convert your image to jpg or png formats, they will show directly in your post, which can be handy. I assume you are using the camera at prime focus, given the image scale. Given the small pixel size, using F/5 will mean you lose a lot of detail. I would use something like a 2x - 2.5x  Barlow or tele-centric lens (like a TV PowerMate) to match the focal ratio to the pixel size.  It would also be nice to know how many frames you captured, what stacking software and post-processing methods you used.

Nice first attempt - as Michael said, planets are tiny so you really want to try a barlow  to make it look bigger.

I've taken the liberty of saving your image as jpeg, and cropped a lot of the dark background.
