Nice work Paula, A bit of selective sharpening on those little dark filaments and lines throughout the nebula and possibly some shadow/highlight manipulation will get this to really pop!

Hi Paula,
That's pretty good for a 94 min total and yes what Darren said there is some really nice bits in the main part of the nebula that should come out with possibly a bit more contrast and some sharpening will do a bit of that.
