Scott, at this image scale I can't help but wonder if the star minimising task is killing details...I'm assuming you masked m8, m20. I guess being wide field...who cares about details anyway - your arcsec/pixel would be the limiting factor. The task does increase the nebulosity contrast, but so would the use of the dust & scratches function though may have a nastier result. Good colours. As Mike mentions, a mosaic would be great, perhaps both sides of the galactic plane.
