An interesting object. Nice colour work. The stars though have been badly damaged along the way and they grab your attention. It'd be better to have magenta stars.
I know of 2 ways of handling the magenta stars. The first does not always work and that is simply reducing magenta using the selective colour tool.
The other is selecting the stars and using the swap channels tool in Photoshop. Another would be to select the stars and then manipulate the colour (if you select accurately enough it does not affect the surrounding nebula too much but it does a bit).
No free lunches with stars in narrowband and as you point out its best to get colour data for the stars and blend in.
