Yeah I think it was much improved on my first attempts largely due to the location and dark skies I think. I still want to get better results with my LP filter at home but there is no substitute for good seeing.
It's certainly worth getting if you think you want it, I stewed on the idea for a while and just couldn't help myself.
Also yesterday I got the polar scope for my b'day so I need to test that out too.
Here is another edit of the pic with a bit more subtlety in the colours, I think it's better but could probably do more to it.
