John, what f/ratio is your scope working at? Native or with FR? 16 shots should have done a way better job than that. Have you tried adjusting the sliders a little bit after doing the Auto on Digital Development? I've also found that if I DD in IP first then PS doesn't do a very good job of the post processing as too much info has already been discarded.

Maybe try either dropping your ISO or your exposure time and tweeking the DD a bit so it isn't as harsh.

This image is one I did on the 20-09-06 with my Orion @ f7.5. 13 x ISO1600 @ 180 sec. The first image has no DD in IP, just curves and levels in PS. The second image is pure auto DD.
