The wide field is a much more aesthetically pleasing image, but I imagine the crop is to show the level of detail.... And I'm glad you posted that cos I would have asked to see one anyway.
Critique ...... Well if you want to be picky...... Firstly let me say the subtle detail in the fainter areas is excellent, something perhaps you don't see so well when you color it up, perhaps due to the eyes sensitivity at the red end.
I haven't put it into Photoshop and given it the pixelerometer treatment, but on the iPad ( which has a fairly contrasty screen) the top of the tower apears to be burnt out, a slightly lower value than 255 would be nice, note as I said I haven't checked it but that's how it looks. In the wider field image it's not so noticeable perhaps as it's smaller and there's plenty of other things to distract you. All in all it's pretty good, once the weather gets better I want to you chase some fainter stuff with this scope. If it was my scope this summer I'd be chasing thors helmet, one object id really like to do well and the longer fl would do a much better match than what I'm using
