Brian,
Congratulations on getting an image published. Coelum
does a nice job printing but be aware that sometimes
they will add some of their own processing.

My advice to you is not to haggle too much over money or to make too
many demands at this point. I've been fortunate to have
had many images published in the various astronomy magazines.
Aside from the images one reason they've come back to me for
more images is that I make it easy for them. I make it easy for them
to download the files and and I don't demand elaborate contracts or
high fees for my images. None of us makes a living from astrophotography
The reward is that someone values the quality of our image enough to publish
it.
I've seen some excellent imagers bypassed by the magazines because they
haggle over everthing to the point of being annoying. The result is missed
opportunities.
