Processing NGC3579 hints please

I've had a few cracks at this lovely area of Carina half-way between the cross and eta. I was hoping to capture those faint filaments of nebulosity that bloom out of it in overlapping clouds - having seen some beautiful images by others that have managed it really well.
The attached is a fair representation of the best I can get with my limited skill-set in processing with PS.
The image is about 3 hours worth in 10 min subs with an ED127 with a QHY8 colour cam and stacked in DSS with all adjustments made in PS.
And suggestions that might help me draw more out of this data would be really welcome.

Peter.
