I guess the first thing is composition - the composition of your shot is not quite right. There's no real focal point. M8/M20 are good but they're off to the side. The star-field itself can be a target, but the focal length isn't quite right for that as a target on its own here. It would need to be shorter or longer.

The colour doesn't look right on this one - too yellow/green?

There is definitely a different technique and emphasis needed for widefield versus longer focal length imaging. Rich starfields don't hold up well to a lot of processing without making them hard or sharp, so lots of data and good composition are the main aspects.
