Hope you don't mind but I processed your image to extract some more details out of the galaxy by using a mathematical function I came up with a while back.
With raw images I think the result would be more dramatic.
The before and after are attached.

Thanks Steven. Your new function seems to have made some difference all right. I played around with HDR a bit which can yield similar results but you have to be careful not to overdo it.

Thanks Rick. The STXL6303 seems to be good at this sort of thing

Thanks Mike. Might have an ESO open cluster coming up next if the weather holds.
