Wow, nice work Jase, very colourfull. M20 suits the lolly pop look, its a popular way to present it. I like the LLRGB treatment to boost colour. Ive read Rob Gendlers original triest on this process, but havent tried it myself.
You also got the bue nebulae out on the side, I buried it by useing Ha as a Lum channel, Ha is not the right way to make a Lum channel in NB, but I got more sharpening with it. I have since sharpened this image even more with sucess, but still with much loss of the blue neb.
I often select out the stars for seperate processing, and exclude them when adjusting colour/saturation/sharpening on the rest, this avoids star artifacts and colour shift on them.
Yes, the SII data is lean, not much in M20, although I could have gotten more I guess. Its hard going back to to get more and do it all again later, you tend to move on ;-).
It will be interesting how you go with your own images once you get set up and capture some.
Thanks for the effort and describing how you did it, somewhat out of the ordinary, I have learnt more from the way you did it.
Cheers
Fred
