Hehe ... I also like to tinker ... a LOT!
Okay. Below is before and after
my 10 minute tinker (based on
your first tinker 
yesterday). 8 steps in PS with a bit of masking. Good enough for illustrative purposes at least.
Hopefully, this is looking deeper and balanced in terms of dynamic range (core & spider relatively brighter, keeping detail intact while making fainter wisps more visible. But, of course, how much contrast you want is personal taste as long as you don't crush the shadows. I also reduced the red in stars (but not really visible in this low res thumbnail)
Tinkering is fun!
