Hmmm? well, I would just do a simple RGB combine with say 10-20min of each then blend it with your final NB image in what ever waiting's make your stars look the colour you would like them for the final NB presentation (usually not pure RGB) then select just the stars (colour range > highlights or Noel Carboni's
select RGB stars action) and copy and past them back into your original final NB version, feathering etc and blend to taste using PS blend mode...easy
