Only suggestions of course as it is quite a good image

Thanks for the feedback Mike
The core!!!!? aaaaaaaarrrrrhhhhhhh!!!!
That's reason I processed it five separate times.
Pixinsight's HDR tool always seems to leave you with a mono core (and surrounding areas), I think the 3 sec data is being clipped when stretching the image hence blowing out the data. I fixed this in my F7 version by pushing the blue curves but with this data, it didn't want to know me at all! I might up load the data to the Pixinsight website and see if the wizards can do something with it.
Here's the higher contrast version with a bit of a blue channel curve push and a brighter core.
I appreciate your comments, thanks mate
