Southern Cross Widefield - First light

Hi
This is my first go at widefield so would appreciate some feedback to help me with the learning curve.

I am happy with this in that there is so much going on in the image but technically not so sure. I know there is more colour to bring out on the stars in the cross but maybe will try that on a reprocess.

This is 90 minutes of data at ISO 1600 in 10 minute subes with a 1:2 ratio for darks, Bias and Flats.

Canon D30, with a cheap and nasty 55mm lens at F6.3, (bought specifically for this as am normally Nikon for daytime but canon body only for astro) piggy-backed off an auto guided SWED100. CLS clip in filter used as image was taken at my light site (backyard in Sydney)

Thanks for looking
