It's hard to replicate the conditions at will, I intend to keep trying in this challenging aspect of photography. Had it not been for the moon it would have been very dark, indeed it was pretty dark as it was, I am amazed the D200 sensor picked up the amount of detail revealed in the full image in post 21, I feel it's truly remarkable. I definitely couldn't see any of the colours with my naked eye which are clearly visible in the photograph above, all I saw was a black mountain side.
I can, and as an experiment I probably will remove the fringe from the mountain skyline, if only manually. I will also try various stacking median blend experiments when I get home from visiting my Daughter. I am actually quite impressed how little noise is in the image, OK not technically excellent but not disastrous either.
I will have a closer look at all the images I took that session once I get home, there may be some room for recovery once I have a bit more screen 'elbow room'. I will try importing two batches one for Lightroom and a second separate import solely for Photoshop, that may help clear up whether Lr is messing with the import process by over processing the image.
Eric is right, it's my normal, un-mollested D200! I suspect the full spectrum D200 would possibly not have suffered this issue. Again perhaps room for experiments.
