Very true, just need to learn to build better star masks, need tighter ones for star replacement.

Thanks Steve, I think my colour calibration was a bit off to begin with. Usually the SHO palette ends up being a bit green, looking at it after the red desaturation I think it turned out a bit too red but I do agree, it ended up taking too much of it.

I think the way you do it is the best way, adding RGB stars. I have no idea when we're going to get another clear night down here in Melbourne so I going to do some synthetic colour from the narrowband. I personally find HOS giving some nice star colours but I do need to play with it more.
At the moment my star masks are creating nasty issues when I add them in, another few days of masks make
