I checked it out in PS.

So you are using only about 1/5th of the dynamic range available in your processing.
It's easy to go Ctrl M and stretch it more to make it brighter.
Good picture anyway.

Thanks Allan. I have a few versions on my desktop. The stretched one seemed a bit washed out and noisy so I opted for this. Ideally I should of tripled my exposure time and then stretched it higher. But clouds and guiding issues beat me.
