Masks Rock! They provide the ultimate control and using object masks like this really helps define those hidden structures. Using them with clipping masks that are color mapped in a layer group can give even more control as the layer group has it's own blending modes!

Nice work - the OIII streaks can be really enhanced as the look like spokes!

Congrats on a fine image . . . .
