Thanks Trevor,
It's pretty hard dealing with the dynamic range stretch of a 5 sec stack but, having said that, I only really did the tweak concentrating on the spiral arms detail. The original FITS full dynamic range shows the core as a tiny dot, so it probably just needs me to tweak it properly!
No expert here.

Thanks Renormalised...do you have a first name please!
I tried that, I see what you mean. Cheers.
