Still a great looking image none the less

Thanks for your constructive thoughts Mike.
I hadn't purposely darkened that area. Having checked a hubble image and a few others some seemed to leave it dark so I left ours that way.
After your suggestion I realised that there was a lot of detail hidden away around the dark core so I did a repro selecting just that small area.
There's more detail there hope it looks better
