Reworked Southern Cross

Been finding around a bit over the last two days. Bought PixInsight this afternoon and have come to the realisation that DeepSkyStacker does a better job with my Nikon RAW files (.NEF) than PI does. Not sure whether this is just my lack of skill (only been using PI for a few days). Although DSS kills colour saturation, appears to make a cleaner stack.

Anyway, this is 113x30' images with my Nikon D700 + 24-120mm F/4 at 112mm (kept falling back from 120mm).
Stacked in DSS and processed in PI. May have pushed the curves a little too far bit it isn't too bad for a 15 minute job. Still don't understand half of what I am doing, fumbling through and hoping for the best at the moment.
