Coming ahead in leaps and bounds Paul. Great image. However don't lose sight of the basics. You've worked hard to acquire your data, make sure you maximise its potential. Subtle black clipping is present. I don't think its done much damage to the overall image - however you've still lost data which is never a good thing. As you go through your processing routine, keep a close eye on the histogram. Don't raise the black point too much early on in the routine. Its always good to finish with some "white space" before flattening the image. Then close with linear stretch (levels) bringing the background in check. Looking forward to seeing more. Well done.
