Looks really nice Bret. Very pretty.

I'm surprised given the shear number of subs that you couldn't pull a bit more faint stuff out of this. Perhaps that's the result of light pollution. Either way, don't be afraid to leave the background a little greyish, rather than black.

You might like to try mixing some longer subs with the shorter ones next time - if you're able to do a good polar alignment. Maybe some 10 second images too to keep the Trapezium region from looking washed out.
