Nice one indeed Rod, love the extended nebulosity.
There is a technique using layers to retain the Trapezium area.
Basically it starts by copying the original image and creating a layer which is then enhanced possibly with other layers copied in succession. Then 'rubbing out' parts of the layers to expose the less processed area of the previous layer beneath.
Tends to flatten the picture somewhat if you're not careful but allows retention of detail in brighter areas that may otherwise be washed out.
