M45 LRGB

Hi All,
I am really struggling with this one, perhaps even 30 second subs are too long for these stars. It's just 10/5/5/5 LRGB. ZS 66 SD and MX716. Color aligned and combined in AstroArt 3. The stars are quite bloated, plus I couldn't remove all of the gradient on the right. Any suggestions are very welcome.
My original plan for the night was to go for M15 in color, but lost it behind trees before getting the RGB--way too much time playing with my guider. So I turned to this at the end of the evening to try and salvage something. Photo attached, or:

Still looks good with some nice nebulosity Larry
I've shot this as well over the weekend and having the same issues with bloated stars.
I used a 66SD with the WO .8 reducer to get the max field as I could for a better composition of It.
I used two minute subs because I wanted to get as much of the nebulosity as I could but I guess shorter subs and a trillion of them might be the way to go next time.
