Excellent image Rich! Would have been quite a challenge to process the galaxy so close to the bright star. With the galaxy nucleus lumination similar to that of the diffraction spike running through it, it gives the illusion that you've lost it in the processing. Have you considered relayering using lighten mode to get the spike back? All accounts, this is a fantastic image. Love the colours and background galaxies too. Well done.
