Very Nice. Background looks at tad blue on my screen.

The dust lane is showing nicely along with the delicate outer halo.  The stars are a little dominant and I wonder how it looks if it wasn't stretched quite as hard

I agree--drop the histogram just a touch and the stars will dim a bit and shrink but not much will be lost in the cacoon--its MUCH dimmer than the stars and will take a bigger histogram reduction.  But it looks very nice for the data set.
