Ah, that could be it. Camera auto modes will tend to overexpose because it averages the light over the frame and exposes for that. When most of the frame is dark, it overexposes the light bit. If the highlights are blown out there are no details for the wavelets to enhance.

If you have manual control, maybe try backing it off a bit. The photo I posted below is nothing special, but shows the difference between a raw image frame and the finished picture. I'd say about 10% of the difference is stacking, 90% is wavelets.

If you don't have manual control, there may be other modes that could help, like 'spotlight' mode.

Cheers
