The linked image is a bit small to see properly. It looks very good but as mentioned the colour is a bit magenta. HaL + HaR GB is adventurous as a mix.
Generally speaking Ha as a Luminance blend gives detail but also salmon colours and wrecks the stars. HaR I haven't really experimented with but its probably putting the red back in the HaL is taking out.
Its always been a difficulty of Ha blends to get the colour without wrecking the stars, making an all red image or getting salmon colours. Therein is the processing challenge to get a workable formula for Ha blends.
Its like coffee!

Thanks to you all. I agree about the blending difficulty....I like coffee and also go for the stronger blends, but I don't like a bitter after taste! Greg and Jase and Mike, you are correct....I will go back and repro this a bit more gently with the Ha blending and see if I can re colour balance the stars. Once again, thank you very much for your hints and suggestions!!
