Thanks for the positive comments, I really couldn't let this one go, I have reprocessed it not sure if I have done anything wrong but I wanted to contrast more the 4 star in the centre and more for the darker dust lanes. There is not much exposure level and with a bright moon behind I wouldn't have been able to increase the exposure time anyway.
I have made some adjustment the most prominant is the 4 star in the middle of the original image are distint more now and not so much blown out. I also reduced the number of image stacked from 45 to 17 as I manually went through each image and discarded any stars that looked a bit out of wack so the image is a bit noisier
I don't have Photoshop only GIMP, I need to spend more money on hardware more than software so if there are any extra information on making GIMP usable would appreciate it.
Enjoy.
