Thanks very much Jase - you helped me earlier on colour issues, so I really appreciate the feedback. Peter also commented that the image looked over smoothed, but I only did a bit of sharpening and didn't use any smoothing at all around the core (apart from a little that is built into the sharpening routine) - the sky was nice and dark and this is pretty much how it was when stacked.
maybe I should add some noise
regards Ray
EDIT: had a look around and FWIW other images seem to show similar smoothness (not saying mine is in the same class, but the smoothness is similar - at least to my eyes). I suspect that the problem is with the sharp star edges.
