Robert,
Nice shot here.
If i may give you a hint (i am not in the habbit of correcting someone els
pictures but this pictures is worth it!)
You can remove the gradient in the middle with a plugin for photoshop (for
guys like me who sometimes forget to take flat's ;-).

Looks good, there is a little reduction in brightness. What did you
use to reduce the noise?

Dirk,

Looks good but there seems to be a color shift towards the blue. Can
you describe the steps you used?

I have a photo program called acdsee. I manually turned down the contrast
and gamma a little bit. Using the photo enhancer in acdsee..
Some times this little program helps out. Along with registax and
photoshop...
