I usually look for stellar profiles and fine details in a picture depending on the image scale. If the stars are right the rest follows and falls in place.
I don't particularly like the practice of removing stars, sharpening/noise reducing the neb then plonking the stars back. It usually makes soft muted stars and/or rings and artefacts around the bright ones.
As far as as arbitrarily weighting colour channels to suit I think that's total BS. It becomes an interpretation and I have no interest in arty astro stuff.
