If the clipping occured at the time of capture it could be overcome by dropping the gain a tad or moving to a slightly faster shutter speed. 1200 frames is not a lot to work with. Do you recall the frame rate and capture time?

Thanks Rob. I was using VRecord to capture. I had planned to use K3CCDTools but for some reason, it kept hanging during the recording phase.
My settings were 10fps @ 1/125sec exposure, gain set to about 60%. I recorded 2mins worth of video and followed Mike's tutorial up to processing in Astra Image 2.5MAX. This version is now redundant. Version 3 is available but I can't save images in the trial version. I did a bit of processing in PS such as curves and unsharp mask. Oh, I also didn't split into R G B files.
This is the final image generated by Registax before processing
