Thanks Peter, I definately see what you mean. There's also a little pocket just below the horsehead and to the left that pops right out with some extra processing with multiscale HDR but I can't quite keep it under control across the rest of the image and it introduces too much noise and other issues so I just undid that and left it as is.
I think it comes down to the quality of the masks I'm making but I wonder if the local histogram correction tool with very carful masking could work on the flame. Alnitak really makes the masking difficult in that area.
Another option I thought of might be earlier in the process when I have everything split up into rgb components for the linear fit. I don't do anything with the lum data there but I have read a lot of other peoples rgb workflow where there's a lot more processing of it before recombination.
