Help my Eta Carinae is too bright

Hi all

I am trying to process and Eta Carina mosaic which I got plenty of data for. Unfortunately when I combine my 3 channels (Ha,OIII,SII) in Pixel maths I am clipping some of the image as I appear to have too much signal in the brighter areas of the neb.

I went back and tried to stretch my three base images less but when I do that I lose some of the fainter areas. Is there a way to stretch the faint areas without stretching the bright areas as much? If I just use the middle slider like I usually do in Histogram Transformation I am getting too much signal in the bright areas as well.

Brett
