Some of the faint areas appear to be too stretched and ends up grainy. Also, what's happened in the top right corner?
Hi Mike

Thanks for the input. To answer your questions, I dont play with shadows/highlights .. well not intentionally. I have to adjust the histogram after colour combining because you cant see anything .. well not much until i do. And really, this image has not had very much of anything done to it.

Maybe I should send someone some of the FITS files straight from the camera, see how the experts can make a diamond studded purse from a pigs ear

OK the top RH corner .. every image, and there is 76 of them, there is a dark lane up there ... well an area of significantly less stars then anywhere else. Thats the only way i can explain it. Anyway .. all the images have it.

Thanks again
Jeff
