Thanks everyone for all the comments. Much appreciated. Peter, you're right a wider field of view would be nice. Having to crop because of the lack of a flattener is causing some angst, but not enough to warrant spending an awful lot of money.

The core feels a tiny bit oversharpened / too contrasty to me - maybe because it contrasts so starkly with the surrounding dust with its softer details?
What's that tiny red skerrick off to the right? Planetary neb or tiny emission neb?
Great image with huge 'wow' factor. Nice one.

Thanks Markus for your comments. The tiny red spot is an emission nebula I think. On images with Ha you can see more red spots in the area. I am assuming this is spots of emission.
