Yeh, not as good as Peters electron microscope result, sure, but the level of detail in your dust lane is still quite good, you probably just need better seeing both within the scope and in the overhead atmosphere to get any better than this? It looks clipped to me though ie sky is too dark and galaxy halo cuts in too abruptly...although at least you can't see processing induced gradient steps in "your" halo 
Nice job

Yes Mike, I processed the living hell out of it, but tried hard to keep some of the nasties out. The seeing wasn't that great last night, but I'm happy with the detail I managed to exude from the data.
Calibrate your monitor fella (or just get a Mac), I've found that many of my pics look completely different on PC's rather than my Mac, apparently it's a monitor gamma setting, but I do colour critical work for a magazine on this one, so I'm confident the background is not clipped (too much!).
