Another trick I probably would have tried would be to split the image into L*a*b* and use a star mask to blur the a and b components. That smudges the star colour a bit and can reduce halos and colour up the white centre a bit.
If you're interested I can list the steps.

Thanks Rick,
I love the colour variance you have, the dynamic difference in colours across the galaxy. In comparison mine looks more monotone aside from the bright pink regions. Was that using a Linear Fit or such in PI that got you that good colour variation?
You seem o have lost some fine detail in the galaxy for some reason - looking slightly "blotchy" in parts, perhaps due to what you used to get the star colour better? (looking at the pink detail in particular)
Thanks for your efforts, much appreciate the discussion to improve my poor LRGB attempts.
Regards,
Roger.
