Advice processing the Iris nebula please...

Hi all

I'm making some tentative steps forward into LRGB imaging but could do with a shove in the right direction!

Last night I captured a limited set of subs using an IR cut filter and some (very) basic colour filters . I plan to upgrade to some decent filters in the very near future - maybe in Leamington

After stacking, each colour was placed in the appropriate RGB channel in PS. Next they were aligned. I then added the luminance result as separate layer and blended.

A quick tinker with the levels and curves and we are as attached.

So... what next? How can emphasise the dust? What sort of operations would you do next in PS?

Thanks in advance
