Yep, great image - well done!
Just my 2c worth but pink stars are darn ugly and white ones are boring!

* I separated the RGB stars into channels a and b from the lab colour space
* I separated the fully processed starless NB image into L, a and b channels
* Using the H stars as a mask, I blend the a and b channels from the stars into the a and b channels from the NB image
* I then add the H stars to the L channel from the NB image
* I now recombine the Lab channels and have a NB image with stars the size of the H ones, but the colour of the RGB ones
Hope that makes sense (and helps!)

Very interesting technique Lee - I'll have to try that one out myself!
