I hope you don't mind but i had a little play with your image it needs the blue lowered a bit. If you use photoshop just click levels then click rgb then blue and bring it in a bit. Nice job otherwise.

Nice image. Once you have the data, you can always spend some cloudy nights to process and reprocess it. If the core in the unstretched version isn't burnt out, you can combine this stretched image with a less stretched / unstretched copy to improve the dynamic range. See the link in Sara's reply in this post

Good luck
