Hi Nick, that's a very nice image, well done.
You have captured some lovely details in the spiral arms, the core is a little cooked but it does not detract from the overall image. In respect to the IR filter I have have found that I have been getting better results after I changed from the Meade IR to an Astronomik IR/UV filter.
I find the star bloat annoying as well with my camera, If I work out how to get rid of it I'll let you know.
That's a great website you have as well.
Cheers
