Thanks Greg. Binning's not really an option for me as my image scale is already borderline. I'll have to try stopping it. I found it odd that only bright stars showed it. But then again I have only started using lenses for widefield and still have a lot to learn and work around things.

Thanks Marcus. Yeah it is interesting to see all the surroundings.There is a very interesting arch on the right of the field with enough details to be imaged at longer FL on its own as well as a faint cloud at 8 o'clock. I was also surprised to see how faint the dark tower was even at that FL in relation to all the surrounding nebulosity. Really puts into perspective the amount of subs and work you did to extract the details in your shot, especially those blues.
