Well that's alright Victor :thumbsup:...some will not like the magenta stars but that's how they should be really, we have just gotten used to images where the lovely purple stars have been replaced with an RGB set :)

Thanks all for the feedbacks... I'm still reading and experimenting on how to extract stars from image and overlay it with the RGB stars. I find that the SII & OIII subs stars are a lot bigger than the Ha one, is that normal?
