A great smooth rendition of this favourite object. Plenty of detail across the galaxy surface and nice colours coming through. The processing in PI has worked well.

I think you've lost some detail with compression to fit the IIS size limit but a very nice 253, Peter.

A really nice image but its a tad soft. Perhaps some sharpening of some sort?

Yes - I agree - it's hard to see exactly unless a higher resolution is posted.
It's certainly a pic that I'd like to try with Photoshop.
Quite a nice image though.
