Is there any way I can get that out of the pic without that harsh black-white format you got it into? =p

HI Buldric, there are several ways to extract more detail without washing out the core, one is a mix of shorter exposures along with layering techniques and a curves adjustment, the post processing is the hardest part of imaging.

Make sure your screen is calibrated properly to show all the shades of gray from black all the way to white there are web pages online that can help you in calibrating your display.
