I tried to make an artificial flat with your image and after flatfield division the whole image became more flat.
Have a look at M8_gw
(The flat field process should be better done on the raws!)

The coma corrector would improve the stars in the corners but thats
not so bad at all.

As the bright stars show an additional tiny spike upwards maybe
something is in the imagetrain? (Screw etc...)

Hey thanks Gerald!

Trying to do the best with what equipment I have a the present. Looks good what you have done flatting M8, brought out and emphasized some sutel points in the image.

Without pushing the friendship whats the best way to go about doing a artificial flat to the image. Unfortunately my images are processed as Tiff a couple reasons, but that's anther story.

The search goes on for those little spikes in the stars, ill investigate the imagetrain for any little obstructions that could be possible.
