But that's picking at it. Its overall a splendid image and I can see why you like it. Its detailed, sharp, has a lot of depth to it. So the criticism is a minor point really of a splendid image.

Thanks Greg! I appreciate your advice. I actually did smooth, but used an inverted mask of the image so that it would only smooth in the dark areas. I didn't detect it smoothing in the highlighted areas (I used noise Ninja). And I sharpened (unsharp mask) doing the reverse. Ie, with a straight mask of the image so that only the highlights would sharpen.
Anyway, perhaps one of you experts would care to have a quick go with my data? I'm uploading the raw image from CCDStack in case someone might want to see how they would present it. I certainly would be curious and I'm sure I would learn a great deal!!
