Very nice work Mike, although I'm sure I've seen some Milky Way wide fields from you, so this has to be your 2nd Galaxy.
Joking aside, that is a mighty fine effort for your 1st Galaxy – nice round stars and good detail in the spiral structure. The background looks a little too dull or grey on my LCD display. You've done extremely well to produce such a good result, faced with such a steep learning curve for DSO acquisition and processing.
Cheers
