I must confess i don't like curves or levels. You will loose a lot of the data. Have a look at this lot. There is a lot of data still hidden here (look at all that nebulosity and so many more faint stars!!!). It now needs some artistic work to select the stars into another layer and dim them down a bit.

With the original darker stacked image before levels and curves I could pull the nebulosity out easier without blowing up the stars so much...

I will post this first and then write what I did over the next few minutes...
