M16 in Ha with 10" RC and Atik11002

Tonights lucky capture was M16. 8 X 10 minute exposures using the GSO 10" RC, Atik 11002M camera and Baader 7nm Ha filter.
I was lucky to get this many exposures which were usable . Firstly it rained quite a bit at about 6 o'clock then cleared so I set up and got going but forgot to turn on the dew heater for the guide scope. You can guess the rest.
The next obstacle was the airplane trails through a few of the 8 frames I had. Thankfully CCDStack removed them with ease.

I have tried to follow Richards kind instruction from my last Ha attempt so feel free to tell me what I need to do next.
I included a crop of the core (Pillars)

Thanks for looking.
