real nice work on the stars also, in particular the larger with spikes. Great depth throughout the field, awesome

I also wonder if the dust lanes and galaxy central action parts may afford a smidge more sharpening/contrast, tho, not sure what the 'perfect' image is surpose to look like

Only my opinion as I gaze apon the overall appearance with hobbyist level eyes, I definately cant claim any educated critique as I dont have a speacialist astro-imagers mind

It is a 'way better' image than I could ever hope for, a very well done piece of work
