Hi, Jarrod,
A very fine image, and in particular an excellent result for the time available.
We don't think the image is too dark - it looks great as it is.
Possibly the image is slightly over-saturated, causing some slight loss of detail.
The camera seems to be monochrome. If so, and you've used separate R, G, and B filters, then good registration and stacking software should automatically take care of any misalignment between the red, green, and blue. (Shameless plug: We of course use our own GoodLook 64. We can supply it free to a good home. Let us know by PM).
There is an amazing amount of detail in your image, and it is aesthetically very pleasing.
Best,
M & T
