Hi Gary,

General observations and good things I see about this image ...
- Good colour lurking about in the core of the galaxy and a reasonable hint of the red coming through from the Ha regions in the spiral arms
- Stars look round across the field of view, maybe a tiny bit soft but hard to tell at this image scale
- Very slight vignetting (a tiny bit darker in the corners). Nothing that cannot be addressed quite easily with some flat frames
- Background a smidge too bright but after application of flats and histogram black point adjust should all be good
- Slight contrast increase would be good to show delineation between light and dark areas.


So yes, stay with it, more data - apply flats - adjust black point in histogram - some minor sharpening - colour saturation boost - increase in contrast with curves.

Of course I must close with saying that Pixinsight is very good at all of the above
