Fantastic shot, great details.
To my eye the colour is a bit washed out. It may be 2.5 hours wasn't enough but it could be the processing. Try darkening the background a tad more and work on saturation or curves of different colour channels. Also some noise pattern in the background - a set of black railroad tracks. That should've dark subtracted out. When was the last time you did your darks? They can change over time.
Round stars and LOTsof detail, you got your 18 inch going well. I'm jealous.
