Once again Scott I tip my hat to you (you legend!). I find your "locked in the 80's" approach to imaging very cool
These are rather good images, particularly considering your back breaking marathons.
My only critique (if I may?) would be to work on neutralising the backgrounds a little to get them more naturally dark and removing the red cast to truly delineate the nebulosity from the sky bakground. Currently the red bias looks to ba a little too strong and the stars can tend to lose there colour variations and look a little too red/pink...?
Nice work though!
