Thanks Darrin, Processing is something that is going to take some time, I had played with darkness and have changed this one, fairly simple job, Sometimes though by darkening too much it may miss some low mag stars, but there is I suppose a limit to how far you set the histogram .

I changed the high rez as well may need to refresh.

Managed some shot couple of hours ago , only downloaded them to my processing PC little while ago and hope to have a go at processing them tomorrow.

This is something I have been experimenting on to avoid the excessive "lightness" in the darker areas which I think this appears to be.

There's definitely colour in there but image processing is a whole new can of worms once you start getting data with nice round stars.

Looking forward to seeing more out of your new scope. I need to get back to using mine. I'm only using it as a guide scope at the moment. Just need a clear night down here.
