Hi Scott, congrats on your first batch of images!
You've got some great hidden detail in your images and with some extra processing it really begins to show. Hope you don't mind, I had a play with one of your images (#4) in an effort to draw out the detail via extra processing and see if there was a difference to the final result. The noise is beginning to show with the extra enhancements, but it just depends on how far you push the image. Generally speaking I used a combination of curves, layers and masks in photoshop, some automated astronomy enhancement plugins, enhanced the colour using LAB and soft light, and finally rotated your image to frame it with a different perspective (now peering into the core) and added a star spike. Included below is a rotated version of your image + the one I edited. Happy to explain further details if you have any questions.
Looking forward to seeing your next round of pics
Cheers, Evan
