Hello all

Just another noob pic from me. Looking for advice again.
This pic is 44 x 30sec exposures at ISO 400, unguided. Taken with an Olympus e-300 8" Newt and an HEQ5 pro. I have been working on the Photoshop trick to mask stars in one layer and adjust color channels to bring out nebulously I then blend another layer of pin sharp stars over top. My problem is i am starting to get very unnatural looking pics that look nice but do not give an accurate representation of what is real. Please advise?

Cheers in advance
Jas

1st pic is 44stacked images, second and third are useing the method i mentioned above
