One of the ways you can deal with the Magenta stars is to make a StarMask and then drop the saturation out of the stars. Making a good StarMask can be frustrating at times, but it's worth playing around to see what you can achieve. |
Cheers Chris, will be trying all suggestions. A good learning experience.

Thanks for the comments Mike. To be frank, I quite like the magenta as well but just want to tone them down a bit. There's not a lot of point making up colours for stars in NB I figure.

Change the identifier of each image, by right-clicking its tab and selecting Identifier. Then, change each to ha, sii and oiii.
Then, open PixelMath, untick the singular expression tickbox (I think that's what it's called), and assign sii, ha and oiii to each line. Leave the last line. Expand the bottom section, make sure rescale result is not selected, change the colour space to same as target, then, drag the little triangle icon on to one of your narrowband images. It'll assemble the tricolour image without the dodgy purple stars.
You can then also play around with the equations for each line:
R/K: sii*0.8 + ha*0.2
G: ha*0.2 + oiii*0.8
B: oiii
That'll give you a more natural/aesthetically-pleasing result.

H, you are a star. Just what I needed and thanks for the feedback as well.
