Crikey Bob, that's a beauty. This looks way, way better than I managed on the same target last year.

I think maybe you've overstretched the brighter parts of the nebula - the heads of the tadpoles, for instance look a little blown out so maybe you could blend a gentler stretch over the top and recover some detail? I'm nitpicking, though!
