Good to see a "foreign" object every so often. Nice one Chris.
If you're looking for guidance or critique, it helps to blatantly state so when posting the image. I don't know many that would post an image and expect no comments to be made. Kind of defeats the purpose. As Doug points out, put as much information as possible in the initial post to help others understand what you've done to acquire the data and process it.
I, along with many others are all for helping people take their imaging to the next level. That's one of the reasons why people post their work here. As you mention, its disappointing when you don't obtain feedback etc. From the respondents perspective, it is equally disappointing when you put in effort to provide guidance and constructive feedback, when over time you see no considerable improvement in their output. Still, if the person that produced the image is happy with the result, I have no qualms about it. To use a cliché from the Matrix "I can only show you the door, you are the one that must open it". Only you can improve on previous results.
Doug has provided some good advice already. Guiding and longer subs would improve on your output. I would suggest honing your data acquisition skills to get strong data, then shift the focus to the processing side. Keep at it. There is nothing more valuable than getting a few hours experience under dark skies with your gear.
