A very nice image indeed. I used to image under such sky as you and it truly is a struggle, so well done!

If you will permit, however, I think you can rethink how your brighter stars are processed? The first issue that struck me is that they seem slighly oblong horizontally. Might this be tracking, or maybe a stacking issue? And, the cores appear to be burned out. Have you already tried removing stars and processing separately? The current look, to me, is that perhaps you didn't and the stars are overly stretched in order to enhance the galaxies. If that wasn't the case, you could rather quickly take shorter exposures to obtain better stars and avoid the look of overly blown cores.

Still a lovely image that you can be proud of.
