Another option for creating a luminance for NB is to use ImageIntegration to do a noise-weighted combination of the Ha, Oiii and Sii (no rejection.) If the Ha is much better quality than the Oiii and Sii you may find they are under-represented (check the weights listed in the process console) but it can work well sometimes.

Thanks Rick! I actually did a linear fit on them before creating the lum, but neglected to mention it in the steps above.
I didn't try integrating them with no rejection; I briefly tried to stack them all together using varying rejection algorithms & params, but they came out with artefacts to a varying extent (no surprises). Didn't bother to try stacking them without any rejection, but I probably should, for the sake of comparison if nothing else.
