You must have put in a lot of effort for this wonderful result.

I sure did! Ha/RGB blends are quite tricky to do perfectly!

Some funky star colours there though, have you considered just using the RGB stars? 
IMO it would make an even stronger image.  |
¿Qué? Use RGB stars? They ARE RGB stars - it's an RGB based image.
I can only assume you meant the relative abundance of small red stars like the ones near the centre of the image and in the red neb? Such things do happen with an HaRGB blend. It's very hard to isolate tiny stars from the blend processing to avoid blowing out the colour sats. I.e. they got dragged along in the chain of processing and ended up getting a bit too saturated.
In any case I've taken your critique to heart and modified the stars using the original RGB stars layer. This isn't a perfect solution but it makes a very small but noticeable difference ... if you're a Picky Pixel Peeper!
Don't worry, I'm a PPP myself!
PS: I hope you're looking at it on a calibrated monitor - I just noticed my phone makes the stars look horrible!
