first starfield

This is my first attempt at a star field, so I am looking for comments and advice on how to do better.

The field is somewhere near M47

Canon 60Da 26 exposures of 24 seconds at ISO 800
at prime focus of my Mewlon 210 on a HEQ5 pro mount guided with a ZWO asi 120mm on an Orion thin off axis guider.
5 darks were taken. The processing used the Canon raw recordings.
All processing in Nebulosity 3
The darks were stacked and the resulting "masterdark" subtracted from all the light exposures.
These records were graded by Nebulosity and the best 5 selected for use.
The 5 frames were normalised and debayered ,
stacked with translation and rotation selected
then stretched with the digital development tool.
