Cheers Carl, yes in the early images of this nebula it was uniformly dark, the improved dynamic range of modern CCD imaging makes a difference

Yes I agree with you Marti, there is something very attractive about dark dust clouds
, they give a feeling of depth I think and the sudden loss of stars is always fascinating.
This area is full of dust so the very faint background stars would be pretty reddened I think but you might be right..
..I do like it the way it is though
. Oh and as for the bright star, yes, I expected it may produce strong halos that I may have not been able to deal with 100% so I erred on the side of caution and placed it in the corner so I would have the option of cropping it out if need be...it did produce halo's which I managed to mostly deal with...but I don't mind it now..?
