Indeed, nice work on this image Louie. Composition has added an extra dimension that I haven't regularly scene. The FSQ does justice to large wide fields. Personally, I think the colours look subdued or lacking saturation. On closer inspection, its a subtle green/yellow hue that is the cause to this. Perhaps drop the green channel slightly with curves and you'll see what I mean. It will bring out the rich reds and blue tone of the reflection neb. ...and yes, as Greg states, don't think you can get away without taking darks or flats (the latter in particular). The FSQ may have a flat wide field but you'll still experience an ADU drop off in the corners. If you're looking to produce A+ grade images, you'll need to start taking calibration frames to obtain the best from your data. Look forward to seeing more.
