It means the left side of your histogram is clipped. So there is a sharp vertical line on the left truncating the bell shape of your histogram. You're losing all the dark areas of your picture.

I'd recommend saving the file as a 16bit FIT or TIFF file without stretching it in DSS. Then open it in Photoshop if you have it and start stretching it progressively in increments. I've PMd you. If you're still confused email me the TIFF file and I can send you back a PSD file with all the layers so you can use that as a template for your future photos.
