Are you using masks yet? It looks like you are, if your not youtube it quick!!! search for 'photoshop masking Astrophotography'

In Photoshop selective colours does wonders to highlight certain areas in and around the Milky Way. I go through all the colours and swing the mouse left to right until I see something I like.

Mild Saturation on the MW before you mask it can bring out some of those reds/oranges and blues. But you can easily go to far. What ever pleases your eye.

Believe me you're doing a great job and you'll probably notice that each time you edit a new photo it gets easier and something about it looks better than the last.

Keep it up! Definately envious of this shot
