Excellent picture Jacob,
I just wonder if I could suggest improvements without sounding pedantic?


Here goes anyway -
Minor adjustments:

The picture seems a little dark on my monitor.
I would have boosted the brightness slightly with curves and
used a blurred layer mask on the center of the galaxy - local adjustment -
to increase contrast once again using curves.

The dead center of the galaxy has either exceeded the well depth or has
been stretched too much? (255 out of 255 bits.)
Only your original FIT stacks can answer that.

When pixel peeping there are either red rings or blue rings around many stars and
there are also blue blobs at about 10 o'clock on the edge of the galaxy.
I don't know what caused that - maybe a star mask?

cheers
Allan
