Otherwise you can try a gradient removal which might help a little.

Cheers LiS,
I always seem to go 2 steps forward & about 5 back depending on what goes wrong for me on any given night...
Thanks for you kind comments... I currently don't do flats but, know that I need to start doing so. I'm still trying to figure out the best way for me to accomplish this which for me, is a factor of ease, convenience & budget...
I've been thinking about having a crack at the cheapest & simplest option, namely, white t-shirt material & an LED torch, held in such a manner that it illuminates the material evenly... I know of a couple of others who do their flats this way I think... so, may give it a crack & see how it goes.
I still think I overstretched in my processing... been a bit busy since I captured this data & to be honest, processing is still something I am coming to grips with. Will see if I can find time to reprocess the stack & tone down the stretching a little to see if I can pull out a respectable image without the blueish tinge behind the nebulosity...
Cheers
