With a little help from a friend from the "Canon DSLR Digital Astro" yahoo group, I managed to tweak my image a little bit. I think it looks better :)
The method I used can be found here: http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/b.macdonald/gallery/Stars&DSOs.htm. It was a bit tricky at first, but I nailed it in the end (at least at for my current level of absolute beginner).
Thank you Chuck for your help, and thank you Blair for writing the tutorial :)
I've also worked on another photo - The Scorpio. The entire constellation is not visible, only the head and the heart - Antares. This image was taken from my balcony so there's a lot of light pollution. Pretty much the same settings as before.
I've lost a little of the red of Antares in post-processing, but I'll correct it as soon as I know how.
Here it is:
If I thought taking astro-images was a bit hard, well... post-processing seems equally hard. But I'm not giving up :D
