Did you use flats for this image? When I started I never used flats - I just processed out the vignetting, but flats make a huge difference. It will give a much more even background and will enable you to bring out more detail.

My images are still quite humble compared to the ones posted here - but I still enjoy it as long as the image resembles the object without too much noise and horrible stars.
Thanks Tony. I only took light frames for this photo because I forgot to do anything else. I have actually never tried taking flat or bias frames, only dark because I do not know how to take them. Might try this again next time.
