Great stuff. Thanks for that. Sometimes it's a trade-off to keep it looking natural or to stretch the heck out of it to bring out fainter areas.

Good image for your first attempt
what did you guide with

The second process was done with 5 Darks subtracted. I didn't have time to do flats during this first attempt, but my old Celestron Lightbox will serve when I modify the fit.
The lights were captured without guiding. The EQ6 was doing it's standard tracking. One minute showed no visible drift, but 200 seconds sure did. I have the Orion Starshoot guide camera coming this week to take care of that for future longer exposures.
