I need some help with managing star reduction, but otherwise pleased with the image.

I second Mike's comments regarding the stars. Your stellar profiles will give you an indication of what details you can expect in your nebulosity. Have a good look at the high res Seagull RGB shot in the deep sky and have a peek at the very faint smaller stars. In your case you're using an OSC with a bayer matrix. Given your image scale due to your aperture and FL you would benefit from dithering your subs during data capture and use a program that uses drizzle integration. PixInsight does bayer drizzlimg. DSS, Maxim DL do drizzle combine. This will reduce your stars by effectively doubling your resolution as if you were using a mono camera of the same pixel size. Give that a go and you'll see an improvement.
