Thanks for the feedback M&T, it's nice to find a new subject that came up surprisingly well.

I don't have the original LRGB files here at home, so I've run a couple of actions over the image to shrink the stars & boost their colour a little.

Quite tricky this LRGB from Light Polluted suburbs business - I've done some reading that suggests once colours are filtered out with the IDAS filter, that's it, they're gone and no amount of PS trickery will recover them.
That said, Annie's Action - "boost star colours" does make a difference.

Revised version at the same link HERE

Actually kinda surprised you haven't switched a colour channel or something to add someAndy flair
Thanks Colin, yes all the nebulosity present here surprised me as well - I was very keen to try something new so I'm delighted that you like it too!

I used Marco Lorenzi's wonderful image HERE as a reference.
There are very few others on the web that I could find and as mentioned, there's not really enough O3 & S2 to go nuts on the Andification
