Sharpless 2-27

This is my first upload so please pardon the nervous navel gazing.
Sharpless 2-27 (I have seen it called the Kobold)

70mm Nikon zoom (70-210) (10x15 degrees) (13.6 ArcsecsPerPixel)
Ha
ASI 294MC
300X (1x1, -5deg C)
300s x 38 = 190Min = 3h10'

(Heq5pro, AsiAir for exposures, MGen guiding
Backyard Grafton NSW 24/8/2020

Processed in pixinsight, possibly with starnet as I have processed stars separately and readded a very attenuated set of stars. I like the SR (star reduced) version best.
I got a bit obsessed about chasing the kobold face I think.
On the other hand the version with stars shows a lot of star artefact (dark doughnut halos) and since it is basically Ha (on an OSC) camera the stars off the nebula have a different colour to those over the nebula.
The 3rd version (LSView) is basically the product of LargeStructureEnhance script, smoothed nicely with much less artefact of star processing and a bit more honest about how much surrounding Ha there is but only having an impression of sharpness due to the stars.

Any comments and suggestions for improvement?
