Thanks for the tips Mike. I think you are right as the original does not show any mottling.

I shot it in portrait because the Milky Way was nearly overhead and I am not sure it would pick it up fully in landscape orientation. But yes I agree Landscape orientation is the way to go. Next clear night I'll do it again.

The codec was H.264. So I'll check that out and make sure HD is selected if it gives an option.
