Late or not. These are brilliant!
How did you process your final image, the one with a black mask?
I would like to do this with my ha setup and I use the latest PhotoShop update. Some tips/advice would be usefull.

Thank you.

In Photoshop I click on the disc using the Magic Wand Tool set to Tolerance 50 (this may need tweaking for your images)
then under select -modify- smooth set to 50 (again tweak as needed) - this smooths out the ring.
the using curves I bring down the RHS (255 output to 0)

then deselect and process the ring
