Yes, the glob is the red flag that indicates me having messed up the stars. I just didn't control the stars properly when pushing the colour/saturation. There's very limited noise reduction done in this image - BackgroundNeutralization, maybe whatever was in the script DarkStructureEnhance. No other NR that I can remember.

So anyway, consider this version more the nebula parts.

I also did a small crop on this to get rid of the bright star (Epsilon Corona Australis) as the ASI1600MM microlens reflections were terrible. I've now got a tutorial that I'm going to try to see if I can remove those reflections and keep the star (and surrounds in the pic). that plus better masks, etc should get me further. It'll have to wait until the next lot of cloudy/rainy weather though for the next attempt.
