All frames are reduced (dark, flat, bias), registered and are a combine of 5x5min subs per colour channel (25min). They are ready for your processing pleasure. I would recommend a starting colour ratio of R:1.5,G:1.0,B:1.5 if you want to get close to the correct colour balance.

So, don’t be shy – have a go. There are no rules, just have fun and post your results and some info on what you did so we can check’em out.
Nice image Jase!

OK, I'll give it a go - I need the practice! Besides, not much else to do this Sunday arvo.

The following shows the same cropped area in your and my version. Stars are a bit smaller, but I dropped some colour depth. I didn't try to increase the star sizes in the cluster - that might make the image more appealing. I highlighted the darker areas a bit 'cause I like that.
