Hey Trevor, welcome to the ups & downs of the IIS imaging forums
Most of us who post in the Deep Space section started out posting in the beginners section, got great feedback, learned the craft, occasionally got beaten up a bit but eventually persevered until reaching some sort of level of quality where an advanced imager or fellow beginner eventually tells you to "get outa here, your images now belong in the deep space section!"
Happily, most folk here are courteous and respectful and generally encouraging of one another's images.
Personally I attempt to use the kiss/kick/kiss method of critique. ie: say something nice, then say what you really think and then finish with a positive comment.
Everyone wins and no one is offended.
With regard to your images, as mentioned above, if posted in the Deep Space section & it's not a great image then people will generally 'let it through to the keeper' unless specifically asked.
You have some great advice in the comments above, ie: get significantly more data, use darks/flats/dark flats/bias etc. work on your processing, watch youtube tutorials from Adam Block & others and don't be afraid to ask for help on specific issues, as there is so much combined experience here to draw on.
Let's face it, this hobby is hard, if it was easy everyone would do it - so give it time, most of us needed years to develop our skillset and we never stop learning! Keep at it & clear skies
