A lot depends on how you process too, although you don't really wan't to start with lots of blown out stars or only the star halos will show true colour. Depending on the object, you might want to mask the stars as you stretch out faint objects, increase saturation, etc. Lot of ways to skin the cat. A lot more mucking around if stars are processed separately of course.

Pixinsight has a nice masked stretch routine that protects the stars a little as the FOV is stretched.
