Re magenta stars, they look quite ok, I like having some magenta in the stars in NB images, it's only when they have magenta "halo's" does it look less than ideal

Thanks Mike. I am going to have to go through and select all of the best FWHM subs to make a better synthetic Lum. Should be able to eek out a little more details.
Ran everything through CCDInspector, the problem has ended up being that my Ha subs (taken a week earlier) have FWHM around 2.7" while the OIII and SII are nearer to 3.5" which means that they have impacted upon their surroundings. Removing the stars doesn't help because there is still the larger impact. I tried using a deconvolution on the OIII and SII to closely match the Ha, still bad halos. Heading out for most of the night BUT if I run a nasty convolution on the Ha it may remove the halos as the Ha will match.
I really don't mind the stars at all, just the halos (as pictured below) burn holes in my eyes
