I tried with just the minimal HLVG setting as well. Perhaps if I play around with some masked HLVG removal it might work better. I didn't use any sharpening or noise-reduction on this either.

Thanks Bob, it's a really interesting field and I was quite surprised at how some of those dark nebulae came out almost jet-black in contrast to everything else.
