Thanks Joshua,
Yes I noticed those double spikes.
Must be a stacking problem.
The gradients were caused by shooting from a light polluted location.

I added Luminance to just the galaxy from my DSLR images from
Mt Baw Baw - a dark site at 5,000 feet in altitude.
I then did further processing & cropped it.

I think it looks better now & more natural.
It's hard to compete with a dark site.
