Very interesting image mate, thanks for shooting something a bit different

Thanks Mike,
I had to redo the flats as the galaxy was subtracted out of the image.
Vignetting is definitely not an issue with a BRC-250 and ST-X10ME chip.
Perhaps it is an auto contrast scaling issue in Photoshop.
Then again it might be the real thing.
