Good start! :) That just looks like awful seeing conditions Knobby. The best camera in the world won't give a clear image when the seeing is bad. I remember when I first started, thinking there was something wrong with my scope when I saw other folk's stuff. But eventually I got some good seeing. This was my attempt with the ASI120MM and Celestron Nexstar 8SE last week. The atmosphere was just...mushy. In these conditions images with smaller apertures are often more satisfying.

Great stuff! Try to keep the gamma to 50 though, work the exposure as gamma seems to blow out detail if its over 50
