I tried Local Normalization on my few (29x90secs) RGB subs that I captured during an almost full moon with whispy clouds today. I must admit, it worked quite well in terms of removing gradients from the moon and clouds.
Do any of you use it and when?
Here's the result for an approx 50 minute integration on M106 on a cloudy night (noisy as hell, but 50 mins integration is almost nothing):

M106 - 50 minutes exposure
