Although you may not have managed the 23 hours of Paul, you’ve got S 20” vs a 12” and that makes a big photon count catch up.

As for the dark ring, I think it may be a psychological thing as the high contrast galaxy meets low contrast outer extension hits black. In that ring is a region of less bright stars which would be coincidence
Thanks, Colin. You may well be right.
