Very good processing, Greg. Stars are excellent. You could move the framing just a bit to the right and get the whole Spider nebula into the picture to have triple nebulae in one frame. In NINA it is very easy to see what you can get into the frame. You can pull out one object (framing tab) and drag the frame over the position you desire. NINA automatically recalculates coordinates. You can click "determine rotation" button and NINA takes a picture and showing exact frame position. It is what I do before starting the sequence. I do rotate the camera to get object into the frame as I want and repositioning the rectangular in NINA. As soon as I satisfied with the framing - click the sequence button and NINA opens Sequence tab with all necessary coordinates for mount to go. I am sure, you know about this NINA feature. I am just encouraging others to use NINA. It is excellent free application.

Yes, I'm very familiar with the framing assistant. I tried a couple of different versions but I really liked the dark area on the left side of the frame that sort of helped to distinguish the Flaming Star nebula from all the rest of the nebulosity in this region. Plus, I wasn't too sure how much I might have to crop if my corners were bad. NINA really is an awesome program. When using my big guy, the E.S. 152, I have a NiteCrawler on it so the auto rotation comes in real handy. But the manual rotator feature in NINA is great too. I guess I'll just have to try and do a mosaic!
