At the moment I am running a standard range mask which does help a lot (they look like eyes without it!) but I think I may have to play with Pixel Math and add a couple of masks together; the range mask and a bright star mask. I have a range mask to help protect the dimmer areas so that it doesn't look quite so flat.

Still so much to learn!
