I think most images can do with a tiny LAB boost of colour - other wise they look washed out.
Controlling bright stars is always a problem.
A one minute exposure of each of RGB helps a lot later to tame the stars -
you never hit the full well depth -
& think about it it only takes 3 to 4 minutes to complete -
well worth the small amount of time on a many hours imaging session.
