You did a nice job in that image.
Yes that is the strength of the 16803/TEC180 combo wide FOV whilst still a lot of resolution.
I do agree with Peter though that you've homogenised the brightess gradient at the core and lost it's stellar like appearance - a defining feature. Your star colours would benefit from some enhancement as well.

How you handle the core is important. It like M42 is often shown as burnt out. Here I wanted to have it show some detail perhaps at the expense of being extremely bright. I'll try another version to see if I can retain that super brightness without burning it out. Daniel Vesrchase's version was a model I followed for this which I liked the most. So to some degree that may be a subjective choice. Colour data seems weaker than in other versions I have done of this. Not sure why. Perhaps in the colour combine step it needs more boosting.
