Thanks Marcus. Good advice. I reduced the stars as much as I could and reduced a bit of red oversaturation in some stars. It does highlight the neb more. Star reduction is tricky work and easily overdone as it leaves artifacts pretty easily but they did reduce a bit.

The BRC is 250mm aperture and F5 so it gets a bright image pretty quickly which is one of the main reasons I chose it. With winter nights being 9 hours long - 7pm to 6am at the moment you can get 2 or 3 images done if they are in the right position in the sky.
