This maybe due to heavy sharpening as ultimately that's what sharpening does - alters the contrast between highlights, mid-tones and shadows to emphasise features. This is really a minor item and does not impact the overall beauty of the scene you've capture. Excellent work and keep it up.
Thanks for the feedback Jase, Yeah... you don't miss a thing do you? In order to bring up the faint nebs behind the HH I did a bit of sharpening in CCD Stack and as a result I burnt the flame. I need much more data so when I reprocess I won't have to push so hard and will balance the two accordingly.

Thanks Mick. I use a baader 2" Ha 7nm filter. I'm very happy with it as I can image from my backyard now.
