That looks like a great image with a non-cooled camera and LX200 based scope smile Well done!

Wow, Steve, unguided 1.5 minute subs on an LX200! I'm impressed.
As you know, Danny Russell has an M33 as the featured image today on Astromart. You might want to compare your color with his. I think you could reduce the blue in yours a bit.
Also, your histograms are all severely clipped. You probably have more detail in your image than you realize! If you redo this image, don't raise the black point so high next time.
Congratulations on an excellent effort.
