M8 - Lagoon Nebula

This is my first post on these forums, so hello everyone.
This is about the 3rd deep sky photo I have taken and processed and been remotely happy with.

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1749/...35fef9a9_h.jpgM8 - 13f,13m

Gear:
Celestron 8se OTA
Canon 5dmk3 unmodified
Meade 0.63x field flattener
EQ6-R mount, no guiding

1min exposures, ISO 6400
I took 97 light files, discarded all but 13 due to poor quality.
50 Darks
48 Flats
200 Bias

Stacked in DSS, edited in Photoshop

Im keen to know my biggest mistakes here and would love any input.
Im hoping to get a better polar alignment next time, as well as set up the error correction for my mount.
