Did you allow for the sensor's spectral sensitivity and filter transmission?
Most sensors drop away from the peak quantum efficiency for Blue and Red.
So anyway -
I am now looking at 5 pictures of LRGB Ha
and they all have strong signal.
I think I would know if the output was wrong as
the White balance would be out?
Bright stars come out as White - usually - although
that can be from exceeding the well depth.

I didn't invent the physics. It was tried and tested long ago.
You've already noted that blue and red ends of a sensor have lower QE...hence you need exposures to account for this get a correctly balanced colour exposure.
As I mentioned, shoot and process a colour test chart and get a handle on both filter curves and sensor QE. You may be surprised how colours don't match the chart when its held next to a monitor.
