Clear skies Ken
This image is Ha O111 LRGB. So the LRGB is showing through with the natural coloured stars.

Also when doing layers if you make a duplicate layer of the LRGB (usually at the bottom of the layer stack) and have it at the top of the layers the stars come through better. Lighten mode will also let stars through better than other modes. But other modes like screen and saturate give richer colours and detail.
