Nice work, Vincent!
Yes, be careful not to overexpose when capturing the HeD3 line. The situation is a bit different than for the strong lines.
Just to clarify: When I try the HeD3 line, I make a series of images (2px spectral slices) covering the region around He and choose (by trial and error) one of these to subtract out as the background (continuum) image. Sometimes it makes a big difference to image quality to take the background image you've chosen and scale it (a factor of 0.90x to 0.97x), using the ImageJ "process" menu, before subtracting. At least one of the background subtracted images should be good enough to continue processing.

Cheers.
Peter.
