Hi Mark,
a very nice capture - you should be more than happy with that!
I think I would have made some slight adjustments to the processing:
increase the background levels up from the present 11 to 15 out of 255
to somewhere between 23 and 28.
That would have stopped the background being so dark and pulled out the galaxy halo more.
Also I would have increased the saturation a bit.
cheers
Allan
