Andreas,

Nice!

My guess is that your green channel should be boosted.  See:
http://people.ne.mediaone.net/mbendaniel/gallery/astro/ngc1977.html
http://www.robgendlerastropics.com/1977.html
http://www.aao.gov.au/images.html/captions/aat034.html

Also, the stars are burned out and could use some shaping.  See:

Also, the image is dark in the corners and perhaps could use some
anti-vignetting, but I don't think that is critical for this image.
