The smaller image is quite nice, colouring is good and pleasing and presents as quite smooth. When I went to the full res image some small items popped out at me. The first was where your pointing differed from one night to the next on the right hand side of the frame. There is a strip of noise. I get this somtimes too, if I sync the time too early in the day. Around the more prominent features you can see where you have selectively sharpened the image. I found that adjusting the opacity of the mask when selective sharpening works well to control this issue. I also agree that the planetary should have been included or it could simply have been removed. Given the strip on that side I would have done that.
That said, this is a fine image and very nicely put together. The data is obviously good and stars are superb in shape.
