Please try to work on the artifacts in the form of dark halos around bright objects. They really spoil the impression.

Thank you, that's all correct. I have a very big problem with the background. I can't get it to flatten properly in FitStacker... I end up with these "dips." I must be marking the "green" background areas incorrectly somehow.
