Hi Adam,
I think you're a very brave man to jump straight into the "deep end" of mono imaging without the usual DSLR -> OSC -> Mono progression.
For a first image, it's a ripper. Good detail, round stars, and good contrast between the brighter core and the darker clouds.
I'm not a mono imager, but I suspect adding some Luminance in there would help bring the stars out a bit more. Either by shooting Luminance directly, or by substituting the Ha layer for it. No doubt more knowledgeable people will chime in here...
A great start, and I can't wait to see more of your work.
Cheers,
V
