Rob I can't offer any tips using IP because I only use it to register my RAWs.
I've done a quick PS adjustment to show you what can be done in PS.
Your colours just needed adjustments and the histogram was clipped.
In PS:
Open your image and go to Curves:
- with the white eyedropper choose a star that you think should be white and click on it.
- with the black eyedropper choose a section of the sky which should be black and click on it.
- with the grey eyedropper try and estimate a section where you think a neutral grey should exist (at around 18% grey) and click on that.
Now go into Hue/Saturation adjustment and do the following:
RED:
Hue = +1
Sat = +25
Lightness = +15
Yellow:
Hue = -8
Sat = +20
Cyan:
Hue = +100
Magenta:
Hue = +30
Sat = +10
You'll notice that some stars have a nice white others have a nice yellow/golden hue.
In the end it comes down to personal preference, how it looks on your monitor and lots of practice.
