Mamiya MSX 500 and HP5+

A couple of days ago I loaded a Mamiya MSX 500 with Illford HP5+ film and went for a walk to Lincoln quarry.
This was the first time that i had attempted to develop film at home using my Paterson developing tank.
The HP5+ was developed in Kodak T-Max Professional (1-4) for 6.30 minutes at 20°. Then scanned at 3600 dpi on a Plustek Opticfilm 7200.
When scanning I noticed heavy starching and chemical marks, this is due to the lack of wetting agent and careless handling of the film.
Other than that my first attempt at home processing was a success.
