Did you do any further re stretching or dynamic range enhancement in PS or just colour and brightness adjustments ??
If the former , then ST is not being utilised to its full advantage as the data is obviously there or else PS couldn’t expose what it has exposed in the outer regions
Somethings not quite right with the ST workflow ?
What version of ST do you run ?
I’d be interested in your ST workflow ( and so would Ivo )
You’ve seen my images over the past 2 years or so using my 2600MC , 6” newt , Bortle 8 Sydney skies, and ST with only with limited data , it just works , but there’s some understanding of how to utilise it to full advantage to expose fine detail and DR
Also your stacked data in DSS , if your going to continue using ST should follow ST guidelines and prerequisites

I found some settings I could change in Deep Sky Stacker (no drizzle) and followed the work flow and ended up with this. First is straight from Star Tools second with a touch up in Photoshop but both are very small 130 kb approx...I think my subs are not flash ..looking at anyone of them they look like they are on sand paper...Sure it was high gain but way below subs on other objects ... I still have not looked at the sensor and I doubt if I will be getting out there to night.
Anyways I will try again starting fresh lower gain maybe longer subs, check for oil or ice on the sensor stray light etc.
Thanks Martin I found I needed to change some DSS settings at least.
