processing the colour of the stars

I am having difficulty trying to get the stars in my image of Omega Centauri to have any colour whatsoever. they seem to only come out white no matter what i do. i took 120 second images filtered RGB (camera is a QHY9m, scope F4 10") staked them then combined it in photoshop. my thought is that i have maxed out the wells in my sensor to they are just recording 100% for each colour so there is no way to play with the levels and curves. but should this really happen at 2mins, if that is the case then i will not be able to get deep subs for any image if i still want to maintain colour in the stars. am i missing anything? does anyone have any tricks they use here?

thanks
