Qualified - 4 points

1) Focus/Sharpness - Good
2) Composition - Good
3) Star Quality - Stars are a little "fluffy"...probably due to seeing effects
4) Processing Skills - This image is a little dark overall - I would recommend brightening with curves. The green channel is clipped at the bottom crelative to the Red & Blue. The black point is set a little high...but you know this :-). The image appears a little over-smoothed to my eye.... I think a little less saturation on this image would be better, but these are of course subjective :-)
5) Exposure/Depth - Good
