Nice work Gavin. I always reduce and tighten my stars in post processing and now I’m using a dual narrow band filter the stars are reduced even more. That being said, my fields of view are nowhere near this large. I think you get to a point where, as you have, you start to get enough stars to show the Milky Way. At this point I think it gives the object a different perspective and actually becomes another feature of the image. Just my 2 cents
