You're definitely going deep there Greg and the later version is much nicer - a striking image!

As others have said, unless you're subject is a small galaxy in an otherwise featureless dark field, leave some space at the black end of the histogram and try and give the black end a bit of a tail and some slope (ie not a vertical transition)

And if you don't already have one - get yourself a good 10 or 12 bit monitor!

Cheers, Marcus
