I've mentioned before that I'm a fan of low contrast images, so, maybe it's just a personal preference. When I get the chance, I'll run the image through IRIS and PixInsight and see how they handle the gradients, too, as that's all I have access to at the moment.
Certainly looks promising, though. Ivo's done an outstanding job on his software -- I saw his presentation at the last AAIC and I could tell how much passion and energy went into his baby.

A poor quality jpg is a very bad starting point. That being said the contrast has not been affected to any great degree. I can only surmise that the removal of a layer of polluting light intensity will allow more headroom to increase contrast. It is an optical (brain) illusion that this is severe.
