Possibly hard, but when I looked that the higher res version off the web site, there looks like there is more potential there. Like most images I check out here, I download and open them in PS. I don't trust web browsers understanding colour space info. I know the later versions of IE and Firefox handle them ok, but I'm from the old school of colour space management. My comment could be completely unwarranted and as Barb mentioned, the lack of flats hasn't help. However, when I checked out the histogram, I felt the drop off of the midtone was quite short, hence the conclusion that there is more potential there.

No excuses now you've got a permanent set up David. You can leave the camera attached so its at the same PA (position angle) for accurate flats. If you're not keen on doing this, a dot of liquid paper on the coupling t-adapter or similar and camera will allow you to realign before you start imaging. Should allow you to use the same flats for a while, though you'll probably want to cycle the library regularly to accommodate for dust etc.

Cheers
