Thanks for that, appreciated, although coming from a conventional photography background I was probably a lot more familiar with Photoshop than many beginner astrophotographers may be. Although I am quickly learning that PS cannot be relied on in isolation for finishing an image - I have trials of several software packages active and am enjoying seeing what works for me.

Thanks! I had processed this image several times actually, getting a remarkably different result each time with each workflow. I think I like this one best
