Ah, just been looking at someone else's version on Cloudy Nights and the bit below the nucleus, which I was trying to remove, is actually a feature, an "anti-tail"  . Now I'll have to reprocess again with less of a crop at the bottom.

You captured it!  Good colour there.  I did wonder why it was cropped so tightly.  Yes, don't cut off the anti-tail.

Thanks Mark. This is the image scale, not a drastic crop except the sides and 200ish pixels at the bottom. I might go for stars and comet stacks and leave the crop alone.
