Thank you very much for all of your positive remarks and constructive suggestions.

In regards to the stars, my hypothesis is that I am imaging using 12-nm narrow band filters which results in relatively brighter stars compared to those recorded using 3-nm filters.

Eventually I would like to own a set of premium 3-nm filters. My hunch is that the stars would be smaller and there would also be more contrast in the emission nebulosity.

Recently I have been using the PI Masked Stretch process to help control the size of the stars. However, perhaps I should experiment with applying my own star masks during stretching. Perhaps I can do a better job of containing the stars and the emission nebulosity would stand out better.

Any further constructive suggestions would be appreciated.
