Thanks guys.

I have found PixInsight's DBE tool to be an absolutely essential processing step of late...gradients are a constant thorn in the side for urban astro-imagers such as yours truly..

PI's DBE tool allows me to now set the background a tad above jet-black to reveal many faint structures (including a satellite trail that SD rejection clearly missed) that add a little "sparkle" and interest to the background.
