IMO though, looking at the Ha only version, you could tease out some more detail and reduce the star sizes by blending in some more Ha into the Red channel and maybe layering in some Ha as lum.
In any case, a very pretty image.  How about a full res version?

Hi Marcus,
Thanks.
The image already has a few layers of Ha as red, as blue, as luminance.
I found that pushing the Ha luminance will shrink the stars as you say and I have done this to the point where it starts to degrade the stars. If you push it too hard you get smaller stars with larger dull halos. Do you have a way around this, like perhaps a combine of Ha and lum used as luminance in the LRGB combine? I haven't done that.
Greg.
