Paul,

I'd say your image is either slightly out of focus or your guiding was not quite up to scratch. The knots should appear a lot sharper.
Also the stars on the right hand side of the image seem elongated so you may have some tilt in your imaging train.
Try adjusting your midtone contrast and maybe running the image through a high-pass filter in PS, only very slightly though.
