Hi Andrew,
that's a great picture.
I wouldn't worry about the noise but I would say
that it's easy to process out with Photoshop.
Just making a mask & reducing the colour in the dark areas would go a long way.
You could even add noise in Photoshop in the same mask to make it finer noise & then a slight blur would nuke it.
Look at many Hubble images -
they don't care about the noise -
it's even more scientifically valuable to show where the noise floor is.
cheers
Allan
