First Light TS130 with full frame Canon6d...one minute, unguided, no processing

This is a one minute exposure ISO 3200 with the full frame modified Canon 6d on my new Teleskop-Service 130mm f7 Photoline APO with the TSRED 0.8x reducer/flattener ( imaging at f5.6). The mount was not guided. Object with at only 20 degrees altitude.
No processing (other than levels adjustment) was done. Flats would certainly handle the slight vignetting and mirror box shadow.
Focus was done simply with Live View. A most impressive scope.
