Hi all. I finally got the right adapters and I got out last night with my Tak CN-212. My skies were pretty gunky and the light pollution was bad, so I decided to try a bright target. Here is my first cut at processing the image. As usual, I will need to try again and again before I get it right! 
I had to clip the data a little because of the bright skies, but I like the colors and overall the image turned out OK. As always, comments and suggestions are welcome..... I am still trying to learn this art form.
