Thanks for the feedback. Will definitely have a go at those stars again Andy. Not sure quite how to approach them in PixInsight, the goal being to keep (and sharpen perhaps) the NB star profiles and bring in the RGB colour. The RGB is what is darkening the edges I think so might just be a case of lifting those colours a bit more in the blend :-)
As for the colour scheme and framing I may well have subconsciously gone "Andy" :-) although, heart on my sleeve, I really just followed what I felt the image gave me. A linear colour calibration gave me most of the colour and framing was about avoiding the rather dull cloudy bits on the right and the overly dark bit in the bottom left. I tend not to study other NB images before processing my own as I really just want to work with what is there. That I might have half ended up in similar colour territory as you Andy is actually very exciting for me, given that I absolutely respect and love what you do :-)
I have also tried reducing saturation but it seems 'less' to me. Vague concept that! Anyway...
