A spiffing job there Richie. I like the process of this.

The colour looks very natural, and the spirality is quite well defined.

The very large size does show the stars elongated a bit, but that's nit picking.

Another splendid image Richie, so much depth showing especially in the outer regions (never knew M33 went out that far). I'm wondering, is the central part of the galaxy a bit on the greenish side, or is it just my eyes?
