Glow behind object without affecting object itself?

Hi, I am trying to put a glow behind an object without affecting the object itself. I have tried alien glow which works fine for text, even though it modifies the text surface itself.

But I have a moon, and when I use the alien glow on the moon, it puts a layer directly over my moon making it like a gradient circle. So I can no longer see the moon as it was before. Sure its got a glow behind it, but that's not what I'm looking for. Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks!
