A nice pair of images. The LMC looks a bit on the blue, even mono coloured to me. You may want to try and adjust the colour balance and saturation and see if can lift a bit of colour into the image. Eta Carinae is quite well resolved and has some nice colour.

It is certainly a steep learning curve but its all part of the fun.

Keep at it.
