1st attempt of Lagoon

Hi all,
Imaged this one two weeks ago when it was semi clear and the moon was nearly full so only got about 50 mins worth of data before it washed everthing out.
Still got coma but slowly fine tunning the collimation and getting everything square.
Ive just bought a 35mm extention tube so i dont have to rack the focus right out with the coma corrector in.
Still learning startools but im quite happy with the result. Next time i might frame it 90 degrees so im not cropping it as much. Also is it better to mask out some of the stars so it stands out or leave it how it came out??

70x45sec lights
Darks, flats, and bias applied.
ISO 1600
Moded canon 450d
Skywatcher 150mm f5
Unguided

Cheers
Andy
