What processing software do you use?

Even at 5 mins I wasn't overexposing (I think) and getting some colour. As rick says, it usually takes a bit of saturation boosting (masked!).

Also, using your software to normalise the colour balance helps, eg pick an area you 'know' is white & white balance.
I use Deep Sky Stacker and CS3 to process my images.

Have been able to get some colour out of my stars by re-stacking and playing with the colour balance in DSS and then increasing the saturation.

Still not as good colour in the stars that I have been able to get on other objects and get from other images.
