AF - Jewel Box, gem of the Southern Sky

Hi all,
I only spent 2 nights imaging at Qld Astrofest this year, so not a lot of images I'm afraid.
I've always wanted to capture the colours of the Jewel Box and surrounding star field nicely, but I've never been happy with the result.
So hopefully, I 've managed to do it this time.
RGB image consists of 11 mins for each R,G, and B, where each colour is 11 subframes of 1 minute each( to avoid pixel saturation and colour loss).
Taken through my Intes MN61 (150mmF6) with an ST2000XM at Astrofest.
Processed in MaximDL.
I've included a crop of the original at full resolution as well.
As usual, comments and feedback welcome.
