That setup should produces some great shots.

Thanks, Greg. I may have gone a little overboard with the contrast. I'll have a bit more of a play with it. According to the histogram the FITS image is not clipped, but only just. The conversion to JPG and 8-bit data may have truncated the low end.

My only suggestion would be something like HDRMT to rein in the bright areas - just needs some more definition IMHO.

Thanks, David. I did use HDRMT but in an effort to avoid the flat look which often results I blended 1/3 of the HDRMT version back into the original. Maybe that wasn't quite enough?

I appreciate the comments, guys! I always end up with an improved image as a result of the feedback.

Cheers,
Rick.
