Thanks Mike. I applied a light touch of Dynamic Background Extraction, which is the Pixinsight gradient management tool, early on the processing being very careful to not over do it. This helped with some colour gradient that I had in the RGB master but retained the remaining signal from the outer structures. The PI calibration and integration routines also have a normalisation capability which works to reduce gradients in the integrated masters ready for post processing.
